The process of globalization and the capitalist consumption culture have caused changes in food and eating habits, ranging from agricultural production to dining. The replacement of traditional seeds transmitted from generation to generation in this transformation process, the acquisition of genetically modified seeds, is an important turning point in the transformation of agricultural production processes. With the pressure of global and national capital on small producers and the process of depreciation, the process of industrial transformation in agricultural production has also begun. The process that has led to the cleansing of the farming and small productivity has led to the cultivation of the land and the domination of the product, the unification of capital and thus strengthening it. Many seeds, agricultural products and foods belonging to local cultures have lost their place to the standard menus of multinational food chains.  The daily eating habits have also come into a homogeneous state in which the speed is effective and the local cultures, the differences, disappear. Against this new food culture imposed by globalization and capitalist consumption culture, Slow Food was the basis of a social movement that began and globalized in Italy, with the protests against the opening of McDonald's in 1986 as an anti-thesis of Fast Food. This study will primarily study the processes, movements and institutions that form Slow Food in Italy from the early 1970s. The political attitude of the movement toward globalization and global capitalism, which has become a global organization after 1989, is a new dimension of the study. In the framework of the information obtained by the scan of literature, the policies and practices of the movement in the country examples are discussed in the context of social classes, while the relationship between the working class and the productive peasants with the movement is another issue examined.
