Slow Food: It's the Opposite of Fast
Slow food means that when you think about what you eat, you think about what it does to your body and what it does to the environment. The slow food movement is waging a battle against fast food and is trying to work with the government to make all our food healthier.
Where Does Your Food Come From?
