The obvious answer seems to be negative: Alice Waters and the related “Slow Food” movement are in direct opposition to the industrialized, homogenized, globalized food culture that in some ways epitomizes modernity

seriously? this is some stylistically challenged prose. Quality over quantity people.

I think that it is also that the slow food movement is unrealistic for those truly engaged in "modernity" and have little time for all that they recommend - slow food cooking, extensive food procurement through growing your own vegetables or buying from (more expensive) specialty organic stores, etc. What would be truly modern is *healthy* "faster food" movements where organically grown and nutritious foods are more accessible, just as "tasty," and yes, fast to get, eat, and share with others.
