page 92 of my edition of animal, vegetable, miracle explains how the slow food organization attempts to save delicious foods in danger of extinction by, ironically, consuming them. kingsolver’s description of their 2003 campaign to save heritage turkeys makes me want to buy a fresh heritage turkey for our next dinner party. slow food ran a membership drive by allowing the public to join for whatever donation s/he wanted to make. m and i became members of the slow food la chapter today for $37.50 (because we are cheap, but $36.50 more thoughtful than really cheap).
