McDonald’s has arrived in Italy! This led to the ‘Slow Food Movement’, which gained a lot of momentum in the US. This movement had a five point program: production of eco-friendly food and land stewardship, revival of table and kitchen as a means of community, culture, and pleasure, proliferations and invigoration of seasonal, regional culinary traditions, creation of a virtuous, ecologically-oriented, and collaborative globalization, and living a harmonius and slower life.

As stated above, the purpose of slow movement is to pay more attention to the work of eating; and thereby stop the belly and diabetes epidemic from spreading. The research regarding slow eating states that the “I’m full” signal reaches the brain within 15 minutes from one’s gut. So, logically, it proves the fact that fast eaters end up eating beyond their limits, and by the time they get into their senses, they have already gulped so much of food. The research also proves that people end up eating more when they try to concentrate on a number of things at a time, say- watching television, reading, or talking. A paper regarding this was presented by the researchers from Rode Island University titled ‘Eating rate and satiation’ at NAASO (Obesity Society) in 2006 meeting at Boston. According to them fast eaters gulped food 3.5 times more than the slow eaters. They thereby drew the conclusion that 90% of the fattest people consisted of fast eaters. It was also observed that Americans were the fastest eaters in the world.
