Slow Food Nation!

August 29, 2008

I am at the huge Slow Food Nation event in San Francisco and took part last night in the reading of the Slow Food Declaration for a Healthy Food and Agriculture Policy, now collecting signatures online as well as open for discussion.  Raj Patel, author of Stuffed and Starved, has some especially interesting comments on his worth-reading blog on the event.

  1. Oh, I had a ticket for your panel discussion this morning on food policy, but I was misled by a Slow Food email into going to Fort Mason instead of the Herbst Theatre! Waily, waily! At least I got to have lunch at Greens as a consolation prize.
