_tSlow Food U.S.A. Today.
520 1 _a"In 1986, Carlo Petrini decided to resist the steady march of fast food and all that it represents when he organized a protest against the building of a McDonald's near the Spanish Steps in Rome. Armed with bowls of penne, Petrini and his supporters spawned a phenomenon. Three years later, Petrini founded the International Slow Food Movement, renouncing not only fast food, but the overall pace of the "fast life." Issuing a manifesto, the movement called for the safeguarding of local economies, the preservation of indigenous gastronomic traditions, and the creation of a new kind of ecologically aware consumerism committed to sustainability. On a practical level, it advocates a return to traditional recipes, locally grown foods and wines, and eating as a social event. Today, with a magazine, Web site, and over 75,000 followers organized into local "convivia," or chapters, Slow Food is poised to revolutionize the way Americans shop for their groceries, prepare and consume their meals, and think about food." "Slow Food not only recalls the origins, first steps, and international expansion of the movement from the perspective of its founder, it is also a powerful expression of the organization's goal of engendering social reform through the transformation of our attitudes about food and eating. As Newsweek described it, the Slow Food Movement has now become the basis for an alternative to the American rat race, the inspiration for "a kinder and gentler capitalism.""--BOOK JACKET.
