| When I learned last September that Cowichan Bay had just been named North Americas first Cittaslow community, I was intrigued. Cittaslow (pronounced CHEE-tah-slow) is an offshoot of Italys international Slow Food organization, and most of the towns it has honored for their resistance to a fast-paced, industrialized lifestyle are in Europe and Asia. How, I wondered, did Cittaslow even find out about Cow Bay, an agricultural and fishing village on the inland coast of Vancouver Island? |

| The business of government often has been conducted over a meal, but these days it's food itself that's on the public agenda: how to get more and better food to poor people, how to improve what children eat at school, how to encourage access to farmers' products and community gardens, how to combat obesity, and more. |

| Italian chefs launched a campaign over the weekend to defend the authenticity of one of their country's most famous, yet what they believe to be, most widely and wrongly interpreted dishes. In an attempt to restore integrity to the well known dish Tagliatelle al Ragù alla Bolognese, or spaghetti bolognese, and educate the world on its correct preparation, nearly 450 chefs in Italian restaurants in 50 countries cooked the dish with authentic ingredients according to a recipe set down in 1982 by the chamber of commerce in Bologna - the home of bolognese. |

| Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have pointed the finger at America's large-scale food production and distribution system as a cause of the nation's child obesity epidemic. The current approach to food production means children - especially those in lower income families - are surrounded by high-calorie products, and the solution lies in local food production and consumption, the group has concluded. |
