Slow Food

There is a movement called Slow Food that has been gaining a lot of momentum since its inception in 1989. Those of you who are tired of seeing fast food restaurants pop up like voles on a newly landscaped lawn will appreciate the Slow Food mission and initiative. To follow is a description of their noble pursuit: "Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of traditions and people's dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. To do that, Slow Food brings together pleasure and responsibility and makes them inseparable. Today we have over 100,000 members in 132 countries."
