When I first read about the slow food movement, I thought it might be referring to slow burning carbs or something like that, an advocation of the low carb, high protein diet, which means that whether you eat slow burning foods (proteins, whole rich grains, good fats etc. vs. fast burning foods such as simple sugars and additionally white breads and pastas for example), you will experience fullness longer and plus will eat less and maintain more energy than whether you went the fast burning route.

However, it’s really something entirely different, although that movement’s implications in weight loss and weight management can end up meeting the same goals in the end, since of course slow foods are something that is healthy and should be strived for since it is not processed, and is sort of the dubbed “anti fast food” movement that many associate with hippie style areas and organic foods growth regions.

Apparently though, the slow foods movement is gaining momentum beyond just the regions in say California and Oregon where the organic and whole foods movement is pretty much the standard.  Proponents of the slow food movement are advocating a change back to simplicity in foods, focusing on natural and all organic fruits and veggies, and a minimalist approach when it comes to cooking and preparing so that all the foods nutrients and natural favourable enzymes stay intact and can help us fight disease and stave off aging better.

Slow foods has become more of an accepted movement since more and more citizens want to focus on eating healthier and the obesity epidemic is a national concern, which the slow food movement can target and eliminate whether everyone was able to partake in that movement.  You know it’s gaining in popularity when you start to see organic offerings in the regular grocery stores and even Wal-mart is starting to carry more and more natural offerings that are advertised to be simpler offerings at a better price. 

The biggest advocates of the slow food movement seem to want to target that movement to not only the upper crust, but plus everyone who wasn’t previously a devotee, saying that the movement does not have boundaries, nor does it mean you need to be a assured income level to enjoy the benefits of simple foods.
