Slow Food

was founded to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and peoples 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.

Slow Food unites the pleasure of food with responsibility, sustainability and harmony with nature.

Carlo Petrini, Slow Food founder and president.
