I out-geeked you on knowing what the "slow food movement" is.

Just think of anti-"fast food". Therefore, you go get something locally and it's grown locally, not shipped from miles away where the meat is raised in a pen under inhuman conditions, or many miles of fossil fuels used to truck it in like Burger King or McDonalds. You end up knowing where the prepared food is grown and under what conditions at your sandwich shop, or pizza business. Plus, you help local farmers. These are the things I would like to see rather than Mickey D's, Bob!
