Slow Food USA

It's so sad that we missed Slow Food USA's event, Slow Food Nation in SF event this past week. It would have been great. Check out Slow Food USA though, they're a non-profit organization educating the public about where our food comes from and how it gets to our plates. In a nutshell:

"Slow Food USA envisions a world in which all people can eat delicious food that is good
for them, good for the people who grow it and good for the planet."
