Slow Food on Campus

Boston Globe recently published a piece on slow food on campus. Holy Cross is doing a twice-monthly dinner featuring a leisurely meal of locally-grown food and getting the fast-paced college kid to sit down, relax and eat.

It's an interesting concept. In general, I'm all for it: better quality food for the college kids, better for the producers, a chance to relax over dinner and best of all -- a change from the humdrum college cuisine (I think I ate pasta and sauce at least three nights a week when I was at school). The flip side is the same flip side for all slow food -- where it's just a little disturbing that we have to have a slow food campaign in the first place.
