Slow Food Nation going on right now
Bicycling is often about much more than bicycling. Other worldwide movements share many of our goals. One of those movements, in my opinion, is the Slow Movement, which now encompasses the slow food movement, and even the slow bicycle movement.
We mentioned that Slow Food Nation would be going on this weekend - perfect timing, as it would be able to help Sunday Streets gain attention, and vice-versa.
Their about page gives the gist of what this event is all about:
Slow Food Nation is a subsidiary non-profit of Slow Food USA and part of the international Slow Food movement. It was created to organize the first-ever American collaborative gathering to unite the growing sustainable food movement and introduce thousands of people to food that is good, clean and fair.
The first annual event of Slow Food Nation takes place on Labor Day 2008 in San Francisco with enjoyable, accessible and educational activities for all Americans.
Slow Food Nation is dedicated to creating a framework for deeper environmental connection to our food and aims to inspire and empower Americans to build a food system that is sustainable, healthy and delicious.
Slow Food Nation (based in San Francisco) was founded by the ever-influential Alice Waters, and it is an event closely associated with Slow Food USA (based in Brooklyn).
The SFBC was offering valet bike parking down at the Civic Center yesterday, but I didn’t use it because I was only stopping by very quickly. And the SFBC will be doing valet bike parking and outreach all weekend, including down at Fort Mason, where there will be concerts featuring Ozomatli, The New Pornographers, G Love & Special Sauce, and others.
Happy weekend everyone!
