San Francisco is a destination city and, as such, holds many events championing sexual orientation, ethnicity, and the latest Mac updates. And who doesn't love the variety of functions available to the public? After all, I can't hang out by the bison paddock every weekend. With that in mind, I decided to peep Slow Food Nation.
Basically, Slow Food Nation is all about supporting sustainable, local, and organic foods. No pesticides. No factory farms. And definitely no McDonald's. How SF of Slow Food. It's like a celebration of Whole Foods the whole Labor Day weekend.
It was nice to see Civic Center Plaza transformed into a farmers market complete with victory garden. What wasn't so nice were the long lines for free water and "ethical" chicken sandwiches. I immediately walked to UN Plaza and its biweekly Heart of the City Farmers Market to grip on some crowd-free vegan samosas. Another SF experience complete. Bueno
Also, I didn't call it Frisco today.

Very cool blog Derek. I like your layout format, choice of photos, your take on factory farms, and that you don't call it Frisco! Nice work!
