Your info requests any slow food submissions be directed to you at this website so I was just wondering? I used to be a slow food member but it seemed to be mainly people wanting to have a good time eating! Now, much as I like to do that myself, I had joined due to the words by Carlo Petrini in your intro yet even in this website and the April pdf newsletter there is no mention of these momentous events that stand to change our food possibly for ever. You mention nothing of activities that call people to contribute on these levels other than perhaps a paper on something to go in the snail pace. Many do not respond to the written word and are instead inspired by the passion of the people like myself who research it, especially when surrounded by the the thing they love namely the aesthetic sensation food creates. Are any of these gastronomic events incorporating actions or information on anti GM or avoiding contributing to multinational food consortiums which are the very backbone of the slow movement creation? Victoria is about to lift the ban on GM uncontested in Feb '08 and the network of people you are hopefully contacting may not know all the information.
