In 1986, the Slow Food movement was founded in Italy as a response to the opening of a McDonald’s restaurant at the bottom of the Spanish steps in Rome. Since then, the organisation has attracted more than 100,000 members.

“Our defence should start at the table with Slow Food. Let us discover the savours and flavours of regional cooking and banish the degrading effects of fast food.” From the 1989 Slow Food manifesto

Compared to the fast food lifestyle, Slow Food encourages a slower way of life and to enjoy good quality food with family and friends.
