What sparked the creation of the slow food movement?
Shifting towards slowing down the world’s cult of speed…
Carlo Petrini protested against the opening of a Mac Donald’s in Piazza di Spagna, Rome in 1986.
There is more to life than increasing its speed- Gandhi
It is almost as if we have a new addiction, doing more and more in less and less time, our love for speed.
We have less time for us, we eat processed food, skip exercise, we drink too much, with as excuse overworking… Which indirectly becomes a health hazard. We are looking for ways to escape, drugs, ...
The concept of slowing down revolves around rethinking your speed of life.
When is the last time you were alone with your thoughts? Slowed down, no distractions, no background noise, mastering the art of doing nothing.
For fast-acting relief from stress, try slowing down - Lily Tomlin
Slow is beautiful. Belonging to the slow movement doesn’t mean you have to be slow all the time. I also dare to take the fast boat. Ha! It doesn’t mean you have to be serious all the time. I am serious, but I never take myself seriously.
I wrote another book, coming out next month, “Slow Intimacy”. I tend to slow down intimately, simply because it’s appeared to be most exquisite.
Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it. - Soren Kierkegaard
I also took the habit of cooking from scratch, and occasionally use the microwave, not the other way around… #slowdown
Today a pig reached 220 pounds, and is slaughtered before losing its baby teeth; a couple of centuries ago, it lasted 5 years to grow up to 130 pounds.
Carl Petrini launched Slow Food. Slow Food at the heart is about pleasure, eco- gastronomy. We believe eating well goes hand in hand with protecting the environment. Enjoyably dining with friends and family, permaculture, farm sustainably, using artisanal products, local and fresh goods.
Taking the time to eat a nice meal, in a nice setting, is just as important. I remember eating my sandwich at the wheel driving to my next meeting. Barely digested, I was already getting the next contract signed. I felt like I had to be working all the time. Do you feel like if you spend less work at your desk, you’ll get less work done?
I’ve changed that habit, and I take time to eat, I even allow myself to have a nap after my digestive walk. Taking the time to eat relaxes me. I do things in full conscience. I allow myself to have a sensual moment with myself. When I start working again, in the afternoon, I get a lot more done. Simply because it feels like a new day is starting my brain is well-rested, and fresh again. I’m not milking it.
