Slow Food
www.slowfoodvancouver.com
"Slow Food Vancouver is part
of the Slow Food International Movement, an association
of over 80,000 members in over 100 countries. We are
enslaved by speed and have all succumbed to the same
insidious virus: Fast Life, which disrupts our habits,
pervades the privacy of our homes and forces us to eat
Fast Foods.
To be worthy
of the name, Homo Sapiens should rid himself of speed
before it reduces him to a species in danger of extinction.
A firm defense of quiet material pleasure is the only
way to oppose the universal folly of Fast Life. Our
defense should begin at the table with Slow Food. Let
us rediscover the flavors and savors of regional cooking
and banish the degrading effects of Fast Food. In the
name of productivity, Fast Life has changed our way
of being and threatens our environment and our landscapes.
So Slow Food is now the only truly progressive answer."
100-Mile Diet Society - Vancouver

"The 100-Mile Diet Society
and the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at UBC Farm
have united to explore how sustainable agriculture can
help reduce climate change and nurture the environment.
The “Foodshed
Project” is building a strong sense of place so
we can deepen our local and planetary connections. The
food we eat is intimately linked to our landscape, history
and communities."
