Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title>
<jats:p>The slow food movement developed out of a protest at the opening of a McDonald's restaurant in Rome. Since then, the movement has spread to many other parts of the world. The objectives and practices of the slow food movement have led scholars working in sociology to connect it to several broader contemporary social movements. This entry details these social movements and describes how the slow food movement is linked to the antiglobalization movement and the growing discontent with high‐speed and socially isolated lifestyles. It also covers criticisms of the slow food movement, which question its efficacy, inclusivity, and scope.</jats:p>
