Excellent article.  I find many of the articles and editorials in the Quality Digest Daily to be very informative and I'd like to share them.  It's rather frustrating that there is no link to share them on LinkedIn or Twitter.  Quality Digest needs to move into the new communication age!

... dear Mr. Day. Italy's "Slow Food" restaurants chain, as opposed to fast food, was somewhat successful, until the end of the past Century. But  industrial people are less and less concerned with food quality: we need to eat, sure, "we want it, and we want it now". No matter what. This says a lot about the relevance that we give to our life quality: we care much more for the car we buy, for how we dress, for where we go for vacation, than for what we'll eat once there. How many and how severe cases are being recorded of tourists been intoxicated by food in foreign Countries? I was born in a small farm, we ate the animals, the vegetables and the fruit we grew - but it took TIME. An apparently simple vegetable soup takes a lot of time to make it ready to eat, from roots to dish: what housewife can nowadays afford the time to do it? Buy it frozen, microwave-heat it and serve it: that's not the rule, but the "shall". Thank you.
