Witness History - The birth of the Slow Food Movement
Download The birth of the Slow Food Movement
In 1986, thousands of people gathered in the middle of Rome to protest against the opening of Italy’s first McDonalds fast food restaurant. One of the opponents to the opening of McDonalds was journalist Carlo Petrini.
Soon after, he founded a new organisation called the Slow Food Movement. Its main aim was to protect traditional foods and cooking.
He has been sharing his story with Matt Pintus.
