As the name suggests, slow food is intended as an antidote to fast food. The movement's founder, Italian gastronomist and journalist Carlo Petrini, wrote "The Slow Food Manifesto" in 1986 to protest the opening of a McDonald's restaurant near Rome's famous Piazza di Spagna.
According to Petrini's manifesto, "The Fast Life...disrupts our habits, pervades the privacy of our homes, and forces us to eat Fast Food." The manifesto goes on to suggest that the only sensible way of opposing "the universal folly" of the fast life is with "a firm defense of quiet material pleasure. The slow food movement has succeeded in many ways though it did not stop opening the Mc Donald’s restaurant. It is now an international organization, spread across 45 countries. It boasts 65,000 members. And it has created an awareness of the shortcomings of fast food.
It's easy to see how slow food could catch on in Europe, where fine cuisine and leisurely dining are treasured traditions. But slow food doesn't necessarily mean food that takes a long time to cook. It means turning down the speed at which we eat and increasing the amount of time we spend dining together with other people. Unfortunately, even in Europe most youngsters seldom dine this way. They grab a doughnut and coffee on the drive to work, munch a hot dog while running errands at lunch, and pick up take-out pizza for dinner. The problem is that too often we see eating as a way to refuel rather than taking the time to really appreciate our food. We are like cars in a gas station. And it's probably one of the factors that has contributed to obesity -- because you can take in a large number of calories in a very small period of time in a fast food restaurant.
