Day 14 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: Grow something. Food always seems to taste better when you grow it yourself. Only a window box? Grow winter salad. Grow already? Then get seeds ready for spring – something you have never grown from the #arkoftaste 🐌🌱👌
...Day 13 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: Make something to squirrel away. Soup for the freezer, cake or flapjack for the tin, jam or pickles. Food is not just calories, it’s about love. Allow yourself to quietly smile knowing what you made is there 🐌 😀🍰
...Day 12 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: If you drink milk or eat dairy, you need to think about calves and kid-goats. There is no milk without mum having them, and 50% of dairy offspring are boys. So add veal or kid goat meat to your repertoire🐌🥛🧀🐮🐐
...Day 11 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: Food is more than calories. Take some time to eat it: a dining table if you have one. Food is about pleasure, and sharing your day, or time for yourself if you live on your own. 🐌🍽️
...Day 10 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: Eat something wild. Game, mushrooms, shellfish or even seaweed. Pick yourself (leaving plenty behind), or visit a specialist store. Wild food has flavour, is free or great value, and connects us to the landscape. 🐌🐚🦆🍄

...Day 9 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: Farmed fish can eat up to 3kg of wild fish per kg as their feed. Eat wild fish, and not just the usual suspects. Buy from dayboats, eat everything they land, & pay a fair price. Less but better, applies to fish too🐌🐟🎣

...Day 8 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: Fats are not your enemy. “I can’t believe it’s not butter”? We jolly well can. Choose simple pure fats, and use in moderation: butter is delicious. Want a plant oil? choose one which is minimally processed🐌 🥥🐮
...Day 7 of our daily #slowfood challenge #changeonething: Eat food from, or raised on plants 🌿 not from factory plants 🏭. The argument should not be omnivore v vegan, but wholefoods v ultra processed. Ultra processed foods are linked to a large number of poor health outcomes 🐌
