Re: Slow Food
I have heard of the slow food movement, but I have never had a formal introduction to what it really is. I assume it is about eating local and sustainable foods, growing your own food, and preparing your own meals with love. If that is what it is about, I am pretty sure my family is a part of that movement. If there is more explanation about it, I would love to hear.
I would consider myself a dark green when it comes to food. I buy almost everything organic, even for parties or sharing food with friends. I try hard to buy the most local food by going to the farmers market first for produce, then to New Leaf to fill in the rest. I also grow some of my own food. I also choose fair trade when available. I don't eat fast food, but I still go out to eat at nice restaurants when given the opportunity. I will not usually get any coffee out unless it is organic, fair trade, or shade grown....and I bring my own coffe mug most often. (that may be more info than you wanted). I am pretty die hard on food.
