Slow Foods

Slow foods can be best described as an attitude, not just types of foods. It is the idea that the foods we eat should support our community and our environment.

Slow Food USA "seeks to create dramatic and lasting change in the food system."  The organization helps Americans to reconnect with tradiotions, the envirionment, and eachother. They hope to make healthful foods more available and improve the lives of those who provide us with food.

Basically, its about connecting with other Americans through food.

Columbia, MO has its own local Slow Foods chapter. If you are looking for activities to get involved in, maybe you should consider it.
