  I spent over 3 months in Thailand eating much more food than I do in USA... I lost 10 pounds eating more... the difference was that I was deprived of eating fast foods. No bread, deserts, candy, butter, or sodas.... just local home made food from local farmers... Ate chicken, pork and fish, bananas, mangos and sticky rice daily... but also bamboo, chilis and many other stir fried vegetables.

  In college i knew a kid who ate sweet yellow potatoes raw like an apple. I still prefer them "fried". In quotations because most of the time we do homemade fries we bake the potatoes as thick chips rather than have all the extra oil of frying.

  Jordan, thanks to you and the Lodi News Sentinel for spreading the word about Slow Food Lodi! Just to clarify, as a member of Slow Food Sacramento I have met with board members to discuss our role here, but I am not on the Slow Food board in Sacramento.

  Slow Food is community support for Good, Clean and Fair food. It is about enjoying foods that are local, seasonal and sustainably grown. Through educational outreach and advocating for farmers and artisan producers, we aim to celebrate food as a cornerstone of pleasure, culture and community (seeing local products in area businesses would be a side benefit).

  Slow Food USA is a political organization that helped pass the Hungry Fee Kids Act, allowing schools to serve healthier lunches. They have been working with the U S Dept of Agriculture to explore how corporate monopolies affect food and farming in the U.S. Slow Food is working to conserve heirloom varieties before they are lost and provide support for organic and bio dynamic farmers.
