Loved this piece by the AP via South Bend Tribune, “Slow Food needs to ease up on the snoot factor.”
Not only do I appreciate it, I agree that the Slow Food proponents need to think less gourmet served on Wedgewood and more good eats served on Corelle.
The article takes a critical look at Slow Food Nation, which took place San Fran over Labor Day weekend.
You’ll need to read the whole piece to get a full appreciation of this, but here’s my favorite part:
[T]his year Slow Food gets a passing grade. They are trying. But if the next Slow Food Nation resembles yet another wine-and-cheese party, they will have failed to live up to Gandhi’s creed, which organizers so love to quote.
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
