Slow Food project
The slow food project is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic organization. It was founded in 1989. It defends healthy eating and local food traditions and food biodiversity. It counteracts fast food. It also promotes "food at risk"- traditional dishes that used to be often made in the past and now they are barely made. In a nutshell, it is a project to bring back the good old traditions and make people realize that slowly made food is better than fast food.
Fast Food
Fast food is food that is made in less than 5 minutes and it is usually fried and poorly made. It isn't good for your health. It makes you get fat and lose your energy if you eat too much of it. Hamburguers, pizzas, french fries, fried chicken wings are some of the many fast foods.
