The history of slow living

There seems be a worldwide consensus that everything started in 1986 when Carlo petrini protested against the opening of a McDonald's in Rome my one-year old self would have been right there with you Carlo.
This moment would make the beginning. A few years later, the international slow food moment was officially founded.


Some people have reverse- engineered Slow as an acronym: Sustainable, Local , Organic, and Whole. While some of these principles apply to other aspects of slow living, it's certainly most applicable to slow food with its emphasis on quality ingredients, sustainability, and local production and consumption .The people in the Blue Zones who live the longest on Earth would approve.

The has always been track for contesting the notion that faster is better a countercurrent for slow. Thoreau going to Walden pond, Nietzsche talking about too much speed, much speed, Bertrand Russell, the hippies Then in the eighties the slow food movement came along and took back the word 'slow' which has become a four letter word in our Culture, and said fast food was detrimental. They were focused on food, but since then that slow moniker or tag has become a global shorthand for a better, more balanced way of doing everything. - Carl Honore


The Slow movement Today

The ever-expanding slow movement goes way beyond slow living and slow food today. There's now a slow version of almost anything you can think up: slow money, slow parenting, slow education, slow reading, slow design, slow architecture, slow medicine, slow science, slow gardening, and even slow religion.
