Slow Food In A Fast World - An Internet/Television Broadcast Concept
Riding in the car with my mother when she was
four-years-old, Hannah, my youngest daughter now 19, posed a question that
started a conversation that’s become a classic and retold at family
gatherings over the years.
She was an observant kid and noticed some new construction not far from our home.
“Grandma, what’s that going to be?”
“That’s going to be a fast-food place,” answered my mother who didn’t name the national chain.
Hannah thought for a moment and replied, “Oh, I can’t eat there.”
This statement stumped my mother who then inquired of Hannah, “Why not?”
“I can’t eat fast,” came the innocent reply.
There’s a lot to be said about the wisdom of children.
Despite a culture that values harelike speed and where Americans consume 24% of their meals in the car, the race isn’t won by the swift especially when it comes to food, nutrition, and health.
You read and hear about it every day now: obesity, high-cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and yes, depression, are just a few of the ailments typically associated with diets that are filled with highly processed, high calorie, nutritionally deficient fast food.
It’s a paradox: the food that we need to sustain us is also killing us due to our lack of knowledge, bad choices, and slavery to clever marketing.
But there is an alternative and I have a vision for the message: "Slow Food In A Fast World," an Internet/television broadcast concept produced by Life At The Table. Click on the movie camera above, the picture below to see a demo.
You can also watch it on YouTube by clicking here.
"Slow Food In A Fast World," guides viewers on a journey to good food, great tastes, and talented chefs.
More importantly, "Slow Food In A Fast World" peers behind the veil that separates modern society from it's food source to introduce viewers to local food producers and food artisans who produce food in ways that is good for the consumer and the environment.
Each episode will feature a "local" ingredient, "local" producer, and a "local" chef who prepares a delectable dish with the ingredient to demonstrate how easy the viewer could do it at home.
Even a burger isn’t a bad thing when quality beef is used, it’s cooked at home, eaten occasionally, and when flanked by a diet rich with freshly prepared fruits and vegetables.
More of us should see the world of food through the eyes of four-year-old child.
