Slow can be BAD---as in the slow governmental response to Katrina, as in the slow governmental response to BP's oil spill, as in the ambiguous abstractions of SlowFoodUSA in the current crisis. Compare the quick response of RAFT's "Food Producers & Foods at Risk in the Gulf Coast" or of SFA's "Special Gulf Edition" (Gravy 37). Let's have straight talk and quick action and a lot less gobbledygook. Stay mad as hell, Poppy.

I have been brought to tears by her inspiring tales and laughed until I cried when she retold stories of the many escapades she has found herself in over the years. I have been part of many "Eat It To Save" events and her efforts have made a difference in so many amazing peoples lives and livelihoods. Her vision is wise, her voice is strong and her heart is big.
