Slow And Steady Makes Everything Taste Better

On Wednesday April 21 in the Refectory, Loyola University Maryland hosted its second Slow Food dinner of the year. For $30, students enjoyed a home cooked five-course meal. Slow Food is a worldwide movement started by Carlo Petrini in 1986. Petrini started the movement in opposition to the growing number of fast food chains around Italy. The movement’s philosophy is “good, clean, and fair food”. Even though organic food is promoted through the movement they claim that organic foods grown on a large scale are just as bad as foods grown by conventional means. They encourage people to but locally grown foods.
