In 1986, something happened in Italy. An American fast food restaurant—a MoDonald's— opened in Rome. One man, Carlo Petrini, decided to fight back. "Fast food is the enemy," he said. In 1989, Petrini started a group called Slow Food.
The members of Slow Food have many ideas in common. "There are a lot of problems with food today," they say. Fast food is one of them. For one thing, it's not healthy food, compared to slow food. Also, it's the same everywhere!"That's boring," they say.
Slow Food members worry about a second problem, too. The number of some types of plants and animals is reducing, including a kind of tree in Morocco, a special kind of Austrian Cow, and wild rice in the United States.
There's a third problem. Big companies produce much of our food today. They sell their products in many places, so they want products that can travel well. Big growers want the kinds of fruit and vegetables that look good after a long trip. As a result, they add something to get what they hope for. But how do their apples, lettuce, and tomatoes taste? That's less important to them. So now we have more trouble finding good-tasting food.
It's something usual to eat foods from far away today. For example, food travels an average distance of 1,300 miles to reach dinner tables in the United States. Slow Food members say, "People should buy more local food. It's fresh and it's part of our culture."
Fast food is reaching more and more parts of the world. But slow food is getting its message to more and more people too.
Here is a travel diary from Peter.
Friday, August 10th It was fine today. My friends and I had an egg and an apple for breakfast. Then we went to Tian' anmen Square in the morning. It was great! In the afternoon, we went swimming. I taught some kids to swim. It was interesting. |
Saturday, August 11th It was cool today. We went to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is very long and great. We were very tired and hungry in the evenir: . So we ate a lot for dinner. I ate a large bowl of noodles, chicken and ice cream. The food was delicious. |
Sunday, August 12th It was rainy today, so we stayed in the camp. I wrote letters to my family and friends. At noon, we ate hamburgers and salad for lunch. After lunch, we watched an action movie. It was exciting. |
