The slow food movement has changed my life. It all started when I was in college, fast food was my go to. I always stopped by a fast food restaurant in between my class, when I was studying, or when I was just bored and hungry. I always came up with the excuse that I don't have time t cook and it's too time consuming, but with that the health problems became to accumulate. Doing simple tasks like walking to my classes began to have me winded by the time I got to my class. I needed a change, I couldn't live like that anymore. That's when I found the slow food movement, it "encourages people to slow down cook, and enjoy food"(Timmerman 238). After I did this for a couple of months, my walks to class got easier. I was able to do more than I could ever do before.
I got encourage to eat healthy and actually research my health choices. I haven't eaten at a fast food place since the movement. It really has given me the strength to eat like I should. When I tell people o haven't eaten out at restaurants since the movement, they look at me crazy. Like they've seen a ghost or something. Even though they look at me like that, they also look at the progress that I have made. Then they come and ask me how I did it and I explain to them what the movement is. They tell me it's hard at first and how they're so busy. I just tell them that if they put their minds to it they too can live a healthier lifestyle.
