didn't see this til a month later but pleased to hear about it, since it started, all I saw of the slow food movement was that it was expensive and the people participating were in a high income bracket glad to hear this video, look forward to more good news
The larger problem--larger than the problem of getting people to stop eating themselves to death--is that the voices behind this "movement" are all off-the-charts smug and condescending. This message will fall on deaf ears because the faces and voices of "slow food" are painfully stereotypical: smug elitists who lack the ability to engage to the common man.
If you really believe in this cause, make it apolitical. Bittman is not the way to go. Someone else has to champion this worthy cause.
