Anyone on the forum into Slow Food?

I've really been trying to get off the food grid this year. I'm in a CSA, so once a week I get all my fruits and veggies direct from the farmer who grew them. I've been getting all my meat and eggs direct from farmers too.
So far the food has been fresher and tastes better. I've been able to try many foods I never would have bought at a grocery store. And maybe it's just in my head but meat really does taste MUCH better when the animal has been locally raised, pasture fed, and kept off feed lots. No hormones, no antibiotics, and no forklifts in the rear.
It feels good to give my money directly to the people growing / raising my food; to be able to shake their hands and speak with them, to be able to see the very place my foods came from.
I guess this might seem foolish to some... anyway I just figured I'd throw it out there.
