Hello Everyone,

Is anyone familiar with the Slow Food movement? Is there any
advantages to joining the group as opposed to just having a food group
that has dinner together once a month or so? Is anyone in this group a
member? Etc.?

I was discussing Slow Food with some friends and we talked about
starting a local convivium since the nearest one is about a
two-and-a-half hour drive away. So I emailed the person on the website
listed as the new convivium guy. It's been at lest two months and no
reply. Is there any point in pursuing this?

Thanks,

Ken

It sounds like you are just in too much of a hurry. 2 1/2 hour drive
and 2 month delay sounds pretty slow to me, and that's what you wanted. ;-)

Best regards,

Constipation? Sounds like a load of crap.

Just get together with friends and start your own local group.

I'm a member, and belong to a convivium on the California coast.
We try to have events that support local farmers; we try to educate
ourselves about farming and politics; occassionaly we go to a
school and teach kids about gardening; we eat good food. But
each convivium is different. Slow Food is a political organization,
so I would say it's a good idea to create a convivium if you want to
support their efforts and have some good food and good company while
you're at it.
