Slow Food For Thought...

"I keep saying, this isn't anything new we've dreamed up. We're dependent on each other and on the land and once you get connected, your eyes are opened to everything - to art, to music, to the world around you. That's the magic of it. You think it's only about food, but its not really about food. I hope people get that. It's what we're looking for - meaningful work, meaningful lives. We just have to find the door in." - Alice Waters

Send Your Favorite Food Rules to Michael Pollan

Michael Pollan has asked for help from Slow Food members to write his upcoming expanded edition of Food Rules. Here's the message we just received from Mr. Pollan:

Last year I published Food Rules, a short book offering 64 rules for eating well. Food Rules struck a chord with many people, who found that it helped them navigate what has become a treacherous food environment, whether in the supermarket or restaurant.

Many of the rules were submitted by readers, and since publication I have received a number of excellent new ones.

So I’ve decided to publish an expanded edition, with additional rules and also illustrations, which the painter Maira Kalman has agreed to create. I hope you’ll consider contributing to the new book.

What are some of your food rules? I’ll pick my favorite three rules from within the Slow Food network and give those people signed copies of the book. Click here to let me know your food rule here.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Michael Pollan

PS - the deadline for submission is February 27th. Don't forget to forward this email to your friends so they can share their food rules too!

Keep in Touch!
