And what the heck is 'Slow Food'?

I've been hearing a lot about "slow food" lately, so I decided to take a look into Slow Food International:

Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
Today, we have over 80,000 members all over the world.
