Fast Food and the Quality of Life

The Slow Food Movement is an international effort to put the brakes on the accelerated pace of modern life, to allow time to enjoy food prepared well. The variety of tastes in authentic cuisines from New England and around the world are being homogenized in the modern food industry, say those in the movement. Our guest Ben Watson, an amateur cider maker from Francistown, is co-editor of "Slow Food," a collection of writings form the Slow Food movement. The movement's website is www.slowfood.com and the book's publisher is at www.chelseagreen.com.
