Japan Grows a Beard

Interesting stuff - I've been aware of (and involved in) the Slow Foods movement here for some time, but was unaware that it had spread (or is some of the impetus coming here?) to other nations.

I found especially fascinating a linked site called Japan for Sustainability, which outlines a "Slow Life Manifesto". Maybe this is the collective middle-age crisis of the boomer generation worldwide...

As Japan's population ages, its numbers are shrinking. Young and old shun a fast-paced lifestyle for a slower, earthier approach. Sounds like a model for the planet as a whole. Commentary by Momus.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
