Summary
Carlo Petrini: Good, clean, fair
Principles of new gastronomy
Is it really better to eat organic food? Does the way we grow wheat or meat really affect the environment, and thus indirectly our health?
By now, most of us have become aware of the dangers that threaten the world of food, and thus indirectly also us. Many books have warned us of dangers such as the use of genetically modified products and industrial farms. Now is the time for solutions, and the book "Good, Clean, Fair: The Principles of New Gastronomy" shows how it is fully up to the challenge. The charismatic leader of the so-called slow food movement, Carlo Petrini, reveals to us all the ways in which we can regain control over what we eat.
The three central principles of the so-called slow food plan are: food must be produced according to principles that are in line with the preservation of the environment, those who produce food must be treated fairly, and the food must be tasty and healthy. Emphasizing the use of natural, healthy and organic foods, Carlo Petrini explains how to preserve natural biodiversity and protect disappearing agricultural practices threatened by mass consumerism, implementing culinary traditions used by different regions around the world.
