慢食與美食的差異在那裡?

根據國際總會釋義如下：

Difference between Slow Food and Gourmet Club：

Slow Food is an eco-gastronomic association, this means that we are between an Environmental Protection Association and a Gourmet Club speaking about defense of genetic heritage and resources by means of taste education and returning the disappearing products to the tables, because real conservation of genetic resources is not organized by genetics institutes, a product can be considered save when it returns to the tables of families, when people realize its value and qualities.

慢食會是一生態美食團體，這就是說我們介於環境保護團體與美食家團體之間，我們所談的是用美味教育及把行將消失的食品端回到餐桌上來保衛遺傳的延續，因為真正遺傳資源的保護不是由遺傳學機構來給予生命繁殖，而是當它回到家庭的餐桌上，人們了解到它的價值和品質時，這個產品才能被認為是安全了。
