粮食换和平(3)

The Slow Food movement started in 1989 by a group of concerned people. These people were concerned about the state of the world's food.

They were sad to discover that local food and local food traditions were beginning to disappear. That is because many people around the world like the Western idea of "fast food."

Eating places like McDonalds, Burger King, and Pizza Hut serve food. And they serve it fast! Fast food is becoming more and more popular around the world.

But, Slow Food believes that fast food has started to replace family meals, local food, and local food traditions.
