Fast food may be convenient – but slow food is so much better. What it is and how to eat it...

When is the last time you ate some slow food? 

Fast food chains took the world by storm in the 19080s and slow food is still hoping to take the lead – but it could be awhile. Michael Pollan, author of “Food Rules,” says the slow food movement is something we should all get on board with. The movement started in Italy and celebrates the virtues of the disappearing slow life. 

Slow food is typically a traditional meal served in a communal style. It’s the opposite of fast food and consists of well-grown, well-prepared food. Ideally, you either grew your own slow food, or bought it locally – it doesn’t get any fresher than that. Take your time preparing and cooking that slow food and when it comes time to eat, slow down. It’s best to relax and enjoy your meal. Savor the taste, the texture and appreciate all the different nuances, preferably with other slow flood lovers.
