b"Yolo County in Northern California is one of the world\\u2019s premier destinations for slow food. But that doesn\\u2019t mean waiting for your dinner - it means savoring every bite and building a connection to the land from which it comes. \\n\\nWe live in a fast world. 20% of all meals are eaten in cars. One third of Americans eat fast food every single day. That has consequences. \\n\\nWhen we forget that food isn\\u2019t grown in supermarket aisles or materialized in drive-through windows, when we fail to remember that the true joy of food comes not from the instant gratification of everything all the time, but from the scarcity of the seasons, and the rhythms of the land, we sell ourselves \\u2013 and our tastebuds \\u2013 short. \\n\\nThat\\u2019s what this episode is about, and we\\u2019ll be unpacking what that means on a slow food road trip across Yolo County, exploring fresh organic farms, meeting the leaders in Yolo\\u2019s Slow Food movement, and eating one of the best meals you will ever eat. \\n\\n\\u201cSlow food is a way of both reminiscing, and yet bringing food into the present with a shinier sense of purpose. It's allowing those who aren't privileged enough to be stewards of the land to enter into that world, even if only for a few hours. And through doing that, without listening to a sermon or reading a book, they are experiencing those values and then they can take it home.\\u201d\\n- Ann Evans \\n\\nReady for a delicious food and wine vacation in Yolo County?
