This idea began in Italy as a countermovement to “fast food,” the Slow Food movement (slowfood.com) believes in rekindling interest in fresh foods, farmers, community, and food culture—and raises awareness about how what we eat affects us and our world. Become a slow foodie by developing personal food-based traditions, savoring the meals you prepare, eating locally grown and produced foods, and participating in your local food community. To get in touch with Slow Food in your area, go to slowfoodusa.org/index.php/local_chapters/.
