Sue -
A great food education and preservation organization internationally,
with some great local organizations in the USofA.
An organization that has failed to pickup the ball nationally in the
USofA and, in many ways, has slid from a mission of sustainable
conservation to being 'just another (high dollar) drinking club.'
My biggest complaint about Slow Food in the USofA is that it tends to
promote and support 'Gentlemen farmers' over grassroots people.
Also, unfortunately, if past experience means anything, someone from
Slow Food USA will contact me about the remarks I've made in this
post.
Here's hoping that somehow the spirit of SLOW FOOD's Terra Madre
catches on in the USofA!
