Food & Freedom: How the Slow Food Movement Is Changing the World Through Gastronomy

"I don't have time," "It's too expensive," and "I'm not a good chef anyway" are just some of the paltry excuses people use in order to justify poor eating habits. Author Carlo Petrini, named a “European Hero” by Time and a “Champion of the Earth” by the UN, has spent 3 decades organizing and writing about the Slow Food movement in an attempt to change the way food is grown, distributed, and eaten. In Food & Freedom, he argues that everything that we eat must be good, clean, and fair. Incorporating arguments for social, political, and environmental justice along with firsthand success stories of seeing people address food and health problems, this books shows how easy it is to become part of a powerful force for change.
