The Slow Food organization has developed in direct opposition to the fast food culture. I showed their Manifesto in class, but there is plenty of other info at their website. Slow Food USA has some great maps and links to native foods and ingredients that are threatened by the fast food culture and industrialized agriculture (see the Ark of Taste links).
