Mccandless, David. "What's All The Fuss About Slow Food?." Olive Magazine December 2004: n. pag. Web. 12 Oct 2010. .

In this article McCandless argues that even though Americans have lived a long time on fast food, the survival of the future people depends on living with out it completely. He focuses his article on simple questions that the modern American may ask. Such questions included: Is fast food so bad? What if I just don’t have the time? Is it more expensive? This article will be extremely helpful in future research because these are some of the same questions that I tend to focus on as well.

Wong, Nicole. "Slow Food Movement." Technorati Green (2010): n. pag. Web. 12 Oct 2010. .

In this article Wong argues that Slow Food can be fun and easy. She includes that it doesn't require confrontational forms of protest; it just involves eating local, organically grown foods prepared well, served with consideration, and enjoyed by all. Wong also focuses on how the popularity of drive-through and auto accessories like the Kar Kaddy Travel Tray, encourages people to eat entire meals in their car. Vehicles can be fitted with trays, caddies and cup holders, all designed specifically to hold fast food items like soda and coffee in paper cups, wrapped burgers and fries in open cartons, all in the name of convenience and speed. Prime examples of how dependent America is on fast food. This article will be useful because it brings new information to my attention that I never thought of such as fast food vehicle accessories.

Sharetto, Carla. "Study Exposes Fast Food Health Dangers." Daily News Central (2004): n. pag. Web. 12 Oct 2010.

In this article Sharetto argues that researchers have shown a correlation between fast food, weight gain, and insulin resistance in many Americans today. She focuses on a study that scientists conducted involving more than 3,000 participants have come to the same general conclusion as the controversial documentary, "Supersize Me," with its admittedly unscientific study of one individual: Frequent consumption of fast food is bad for your health. Sharetto quotes Dr.Pereira that Fast-food consumption has increased in the United States during the past three decades, and while there have been many discussions about fast-food's effects on obesity, this appears to be the first scientific, comprehensive long-term study to show a strong connection between fast-food consumption, obesity, and risk for type 2 diabetes. This article will be helpful because it is a specific example of the harm fast food does to the consumer’s body.

Hamel, Alan. "Information on Slow Food Movement." Ezine Articles (2010): n. pag. Web. 12 Oct 2010. .

In this article Hamel argues that the Slow Food Movement will help the world get rid of all the bad eating habits. He also includes that this movement encourages people to enjoy cooking again and eating traditional cooked meals. Hamel claims that the young generations have a special liking for fast foods and if they keep on passing food habits to the next generation then your kid will also be habituated to such bad food eating habits. This article will be somewhat helpful because even though a lot of this information is repetitive with other articles, it shows how the choices and habits of the present generations affect the choices and habits of future generations to come.
