On September 17, thousands will gather to help take back the 'value meal' by getting together with family, friends and neighbors for a slow food meal that costs no more than $5 per person. Well over 5,000 meals will take place across the United States.
We're asking people to share what they do in their kitchens and with their families to cook fresh, healthy food on a budget. Together, we're learning what works, what doesn't, and what needs to change in order to make good food affordable and available for everyone.
To get the conversation started, we asked the staff at Slow Food USA, Why are you taking the $5 Challenge?
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.
