Diet Inn and the Slow Food Movement

We are asked if we support the Slow Food Movement. To answer that question we need to know what the Slow Food Movement is. We heard that Alice Waters, founder of one of the finest restaurants in the world Chez Panisse, supports the SFM (Slow Food Movement.)

On reading the introduction to her The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution, a great cookbook for beginners, we learn she believes the best tasting food is grown close to home by organic farmers. She calls it her Delicious Revolution.

Jeff Crump and Bettina Shormann do use the words SFM in the introduction to their magnificent cookbook Earth to Table: Seasonal Recipes from an Organic Farm. They agree working with local producers is key. "It's about quality food but that's not the same thing as expensive food." They summarize the SFM by saying "Slow Food is the way to defend the world against everything that's wrong with they way we tend to eat."

Wikipedia says the SFM was founded in Italy to combat fast food. Most other references are along the same vein. Local, organic food is good. Fast food is bad.

We at Diet Inn are not dogmatic. We love local, organic, delicious food. We support local farmers and the local economy in general. We have also been known to eat a grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad and water purchased at a local fast food joint. We are not farmers or restaurant owners; we support people's efforts to lose weight. So we came up with our own definition of SFM which we wholeheartedly support.

Diet Inn suggests taking your time when eating. Chew each bite completely. Savor the full flavor available. Eat slowly.

bon appetit!
