"Carlo Petrini, a food and wine journalist in Italy, founded The Slow Food Movement in 1986. Petrini had become haunted by the spectre of fast food companies eroding Italy's ancient culinary culture.

Since its founding the Slow Food Movement has spread across Europe and across the World to include over 100,000 members in 132 countries (Slow Food International). That's 68% of the world's countries—2/3—and when you figure that many of the the other 63 or so countries not part of the Slow Food Movement have more basic food problems, that means that the Slow Food Movement is one of the most wide-spread grass-root movements in modern industrialized countries.
