I think if the priority is your own wellness and your own well-being, then it's important to cook a little bit, but also to consider, all right, if you're going to go out and eat, where are you choosing to eat and what are you choosing to buy?
In a world that's always in a rush, it's easy to forget the joy of taking things slow, especially when it comes to food. Giselle Kennedy Lord from Slow Food USA joins the Unwasted podcast to remind us why slowing down to cook and share meals is more important than ever. She passionately discusses how embracing the slow food movement can benefit our physical and mental well-being, while also protecting our planet's biodiversity.
Giselle believes that cooking and eating together can create powerful moments of connection and joy, which are often missing in our fast-paced lives. She asks, 'If we don't have those moments, where do we draw our motivation?' This episode dives into the history of fast food, its environmental impact, and how slow food offers a refreshing alternative. Giselle highlights the importance of food culture as a love language and a bridge for empathy.
By learning about different food practices, we can humanize each other and appreciate the simple act of making a meal. The conversation also covers regenerative agriculture, which aims to heal our soil and increase biodiversity. Giselle touches on food justice and equity, emphasizing the need for diversity and representation in our food systems. Reducing waste is another key topic, with Slow Food USA leading efforts to minimize food waste at events and rescue food that would otherwise be discarded.
This episode is a heartfelt call to slow down, savor our meals, and build a more sustainable and connected world.
