Slow Food

I love this… check out “Slow Food”, an international non-profit organization "founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food 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".

This organization is helping people learn to slow down, eat better, take care of the planet and each other.

"We believe that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work".

Movements like this are helping to bring back food that comes from your own backyard, not out of a wrapper; promotes local organic agriculture, homemade meals, eating around the table with friends and family, and enjoying great, healthy food and conversation!
