For those looking to find out more about slow foods "Come to the Table" is a great intro into the world of small farms. I wanted to be a farmer by the time I was done with it. At the end of the book there are some suggestions for how to go slow. Start with just a few. Every little bit helps! You might find you're already on the 'slow' track.
How to go slow:Buy organic
Avoid genetically modified food
Plant a kitchen garden
Buy local
Eat seasonally
Drink unbottled water
Try making things from scratch
Pack a lunch
Share what you're learning with your kids
Eat together
Talk food politics
Get to know your local farmers
Shop at 'boutique' food stores
Ask your butcher or produce guy for locally grown/raised items
(maybe they'll bring the in if they don't have them already)
Last but not least, go to your local farmers market.
Have a happy, healthy day!
