SLOW FOOD vs JUNK FOOD

His name is Carlo Petrini and he is the Founder of a new lifestyle: eating healthy against the Fast Food lifestyle, whose name is SLOW FOOD. Today he'll meet 280 doctors from the Center for Disease Control and the conference will be (transmitted ) broadcasted to the White House on streaming TV. There will be TERRA MADRE too, the movement implied in agricolture and food production inspired to the same principles at the base of the new food philosophy. Goals of the slow food are : bringing up the taste, saving the biodiversity and the traditional food productions, promoting a food model respectful of environment, cultural traditions and identities.

  1. Nowadays people don’t have much time because they do things in fast way and so their life are noisier and more stressful. But now a worldwide movement, whose aim is to slow life down, and so the people are happier and healthier way of life is possible. As regards food today lots of people eat at fast food for example “Mc Donald’s and Burgher King”, when they have a break from work or after school. Although slow food is not good how Carlo Petrini says, it encourages people to eat at local and regional food, to use local shops and markets, to eat out in a small family restaurants and to cook with traditional recipes. We think that fast food is dangerous for our health and we think that we must dedicate more time for ourself and for what makes us happy. According to us the slow food is a good way because is more health and we can live more calm life.

  2. the slow food movement is the opposite of fast food,is an initiative to preserve local, cultural cuisine, and combat the growth of unhealthy fast food. Many people think Slow Food is eat food sourced locally, slow Food is so much more than that. The slow food movement encourages us to return to our roots
    And keeping traditional food ways ." This is why i support slow-food movement.

  3. well I think that food is more precious than a clothe, or something else.
    Petrini's right saying that nowaday we care more about the things we dress that not things we eat.
    And he's also right saying that slow food movement will help people to discover local food again. Local food will be always better than unhealthy fast food. If we keep this way, we will live so much better, and we will discover ourselfs.

  4. I think that this video is very interesting.
    Carlo Petrini said only the truth...!
    We consider appearances more important than what we are really. We should care more ourself.
    How a proverb says:
    "Clothes do not make the monaco."
    This is my opinion..
    The money are not important...but the love yes!
