Schneider, Stephen. (2008) Good, Clean, Fair: The Rhetoric of the Slow Food Movement. College English 70.4, 384-401.     

        Schneider defines and concurs with the theories of Carlo Petrini, founder of Slow Food. Slow Food is a movement focused on educating consumers and producers about the significance of healthy food production. Petrini believes food should be “Good, Clean, and Fair.” Good food is qualified as food that tastes good and is multicultural. Clean food is “sustainable” and manufactured in an environmentally safe way. And, food should be produced fairly, without producers and consumers being treated inhumanely. According to Schneider, Petrini believes that society must unite and stand up for the value of healthy food production. Schneider argues that by bringing awareness and education to society about Slow Food and the beliefs they advocate, we can create a better environment for all.
