Be sure to read Michael Pollan's article in today's New York Times Magazine. He uses this year's outbreak of MRSA and the mysterious epidemic that hit the nation's beehives to demonstrate the "precariousness of monocultures."
Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic membership supported organization that educates people about how their food choices affect the rest of the world. Today, we have over 80,000 members all over the world.
The Dallas Convivium of Slow Food was launched in the Spring of 2003 when interest in this area reached a critical mass. It is, by its nature, a grass-roots group that ebbs and flows based on what members want and contribute.
