Slow Food: Ideas…
Right so I’m still not 100% clear on slow food but Ive got the basics. I think.
Ive spent the last couple of weeks thinking of ideas. Ive decided that i want to try and get people to lean about the values of slow food not lean about slow food movements its self. I’m going to aim my application at children, as i feel that the best way to change the way a nation thinks is to target its children.
I came up with several ideas. One was a internet cartoon where the characters are food and teach the kids about eating healthy and about different types of food ect. But decided against this as talking food might put some kids off. That and im not that good an animator.
My next idea was still a flash web based application. But instead of teaching kids bout food it teaches them how to cook. This also ties in with an initiative happening in many primary schools getting children to cook. I thought that tis was a good idea so i did some research. I found a few sites that have many recipes that are aimed at children. How ever very few of these sites are aimed at children. They aim at the children’s parents.

So to sum up my application will be aimed at children with the aim of getting kids to cook with their parents. I will try to keep most of the recipes healthy and traditional in keeping with the slow food movement.
