The Slow Food Movement!!

Slow Food is an international non-profit organization, present in 150 countries and with more than 100,000 members, founded in 1989. This movement was born against Fast Food, which today is still present in our lives.

Slow Food strengthens the links and encourages collaboration between different actors involved in the production and consumption of food (farmers and small-scale farmers, artisanal fishermen, breeders) Which through their daily activities, contribute to preserve biodiversity and local gastronomy.

Members or followers of Slow Food usually attend the "Convivia" a kind of club where they share culinary experiences, learn traditional recipes or try new preparations using native products. 
This movement grows in the country gaining fans to counter junk food and they do this by educating consumers to appreciate the flavors of traditional foods, and prefer the foods that have a local identity, produced in a handmade way, without fertilizers or other agrochemicals. 

I visit the website once a month, to know about the various activities that take place in the country or abroad. I like this organization because the members is diverse, since they are not only part  of this movement people who are gourmet and who purchases refined foods. They have partners who are small peasants, lawyers, artists. The public is quite broad.

What i wanted to be...

When i was younger i wanted to be a psychologist, teacher and vet, i wanted to be all of them together  if i could , my dad doesn ' t like that idea but he never told me what he wanted me to be, that was what made me feel more free to choose what i really wanted to study, but i knew that deep on his heart he wanted me to be some like i lawyer or a doctor. Two years before my high school studies ends i realized that chemistry all this time could be an opcion that i didn't see, some months later i knew that Food Engineering would be what i wanted to study, because i  want to make a change someday, it doesn't matter if it's a small change, and it couldn't be better about something that affects us every day, Food!. So when i applied to the university, Food Engineering was my first option and Chemistry and Pharmacy was my second. In the future when i graduate from university i would like to work in food quality control or research. And finally my experience at t...

Literature.

I '  m not very related to some expressions of art as painting, theater or photography, but I ' m close to literature. When I was younger I used to read books because that was what my classmates and I had to do, but it wasn '  t  something that I liked, on the contrary it was very overwhelming and this doesn ' t mean that books were bad, I mean sometimes you can read a magnificent book that is the favorite of someone in the world but you will not feel that way, because maybe the book is not for you or because it was not the righ moment  to feel every word that the author wants to transmit you. I learned this because with all these books I felt absolutely nothing except one, "Autopista del sur" by Julio Cortazar, this book made the  little me know that not everything was boring in literature. A few years later when I was about 15 years old I saw a review of a book on YouTube and I decided to read it on my own, it was "The Hunger Games" by S...

Something about me.

Hi, my name is Dayana Apaza, i´m 19 years old, i was born in october 18th, 1997 in a small town near to a north city called Trujillo, Peru, i lived there with my parents Gloria and Omar and my northern  family untill i  was 10 years old, in that moment they decided for economic problems leave our country behind to moved to a new place, to a new country. That´s how i arrived to this city Santiago of Chile, here i knew new people and friends and a new life started. As you can imagine it was hard at the beginning to get used to and  we still missing the food and town people. I completed my high school studies at Liceo Agustin Edwards and now i´m studing Food Engineering at the University of Chile since 2016. When i was younger my mom decided that i had to keep my energy doing something, so that´s  when i learned to play volleyball, and let me tell you i think i am really good, also i  like to read a lot, dystopic books are my favorites. And last but n...
