Publishers Text
With a magazine, website, and over 400,000 followers organized into local convivia, or chapters, the slow food movement is poised to revolutionize the way Americans shop for groceries, have their meals, and think about food. The slow food movement advocates a return to traditional recipes, locally grown foods and wines, and eating as a social event.
In 1989, Carlo Petrini founded the International Slow Food Movement as a backlash against the fast-food lifestyle and its perpetual haste. Not only did Petrini renounce fast food, he renounced the overall pace of the fast life, and called for the safeguarding of local economies and gastronomic traditions, and the creation of a new kind of ecologically aware and committed consumerism.
