"With surprising rapidity northern-Italian-born Slow Food has become, by the turn of the twenty-first century, an international movement. It now boasts as many as sixty thousand members throughout more than forty-five countries. As Fabio Parasecoli has reported in this journal, Slow Food seeks to marry the pleasures of the table to a leftist politics of production and consumption."
