Messages From Slow Food Nation

Selected quotes, not at random :-), from this post:

  • recruiting millions of new farmers, ennobling farming so more people want to do it, and making it possible for them to make a decent living at it.
  • end the free-market, capitalist system: All of those issues are the byproducts of a system built on competition rather than cooperation
  • the foods available gave me a huge stomachache. Especially as a vegetarian who couldn’t have the meat, because it meant walking around for 4 hours gorging on beer, ice cream, and chocolate
  • drink Red Bull to write theses: Red Bull is just a drink that works for capitalism because it gets you through the work day (and he confessed to drinking it night and day to get through his Ph.D)
