Against those, and they are legions, who confuse efficiency and frenzy, we propose this vaccine: to enjoy surely, slowly, fully, and without excess the pleasures of the senses. In order to fight against the debasement of "Fast-Food", let's start at the table with "Slow Food" and rediscover the richness and flavours of traditional cuisine ". The tone is set. A few lines from the Slow Food Manifesto 1 and we are now immersed in the terms of a deep and lasting commitment, where the table, the taste, the flavours all rediscover their dignity and all their rights. First of all, the flavour of combat. Principles: defending ("the pleasure of living"), fighting ("against the degradation of fast food"), and weapons: flavours, flavours and above all slowness. The time to produce, to make, to prepare, to savour. The time to educate and transmit, to cultivate, the land and sharing. A commitment that today brings together more than 100,000 members, spread over more than 1000 local structures or convivia, across 130 countries. This commitment takes various forms, in terms of international events (Salone del Gusto, Terra Madre, Cheese, Slow Fish), institutions, university training, creation and publishing. Within this global communication system, originally conceived (1989) by the founder of the movement, Carlo Petrini, it is essential to understand the framework of the organisation's discourse as an expression of its humanist and planetary commitment. What are the axiological mainsprings of this discourse, in the valorisation of this humanism and this action? What are the underlying themes deployed around these values, and according to what discursive logic(s)? The aim here is not to carry out a content analysis, but to grasp the semiotic and symbolic reasons that give Slow Food's discourse its full scope, at the forefront of actors committed to healthier, fairer food, in line with its signature: 'Good, clean and fair food'. However, it is impossible to avoid the question of the ethical dimension of any commitment, which is the basis of practice and action.
