Slow Food is an
international movement, active in 35 countries worldwide, with
60,000 members and about 400 convivia.
Slow Food is an
international response to the effect fast food has on our
society and life. It questions the validity of the fast food
philosophy as an unconscious credo that erodes our culinary
heritage in the guise of efficiency.
See the official Slow Food Manifesto,
endorsed by delegates of 20 countries in 1989, and the International
Statute, approved by the Extraordinary Congress in Turin
on November 7 1998.
