Placard shows support for "Slow Food International" movement, Slow Food is a movement that was created in 1989 as a response to the growing chaos of the non-stop society. Considering fast food/fast life an unhealthy way of living, Slow Food appeared as a way to recover local gastronomic traditions bringing healthy foods and flavors to the spotlight, and a way to make people aware of how their decisions influence the world.The movement quickly gained traction, spreading to over 150 countries, having today a network of one hundred thousand members. The members from each location gather in local associations called Convivium, fighting together to defend the local gastronomic culture. Slow Food works to impact agricultural, gastronomic and food production practices, encouraging a concept of food quality that is based on three points: Good – fresh, tasty food that has been produced during the current season, belonging to the local culture; Clean – production techniques that do not harm the environment or people’s health; Fair – consumers are sold the food at accessible prices, and the small producers receive fair payment.
