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.
