Slow Food in The Nation

On newstands now: Slow Food in The Nation
"Since we're a weekly magazine, 'slow' is not a quality we often find ourselves working to achieve. But after embarking on the process of producing a special food issue under the guidance of Chez Panisse founder Alice Waters, we soon discovered that the 'slow food values' she espouses are in harmony with our own...this issue, The Nation's first (though we hope not last) on food, seeks not only to expose but to inspire."
-Excerpted from The Nation, September 11, 2006 issue

On newstands now, The Food Issue of The Nation hits home for Slow Food USA with articles and features by our movement's biggest supporters. The issue kicks off with an article entitled "Slow Food Nation", written by Slow Food International Vice President Alice Waters. Her article is followed by a forum where Slow Food Founder and President Carlo Petrini weigh in on the state of our nation's food system, along with Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser, Marion Nestle, Vandana Shiva, Randy Fertel, Wendell Berry and many others.

The features include topics such as school lunches, Walmart's organic plans, fast-food, popular food books and the Edible Schoolyard in New Orleans. Pick up a copy of the issue at your local newstand (we hear that issues are already hard to find!), order it by calling The Nation or read most of the issue online. www.thenation.com
