From its beginning, the movement had opposed the standardization of taste that fast food chains promote. For example, a McDonald’s hamburger made in Boston tastes more or less the same as one made in Beijing. This consistency is made possible by industrial mass production. Slow Food supporters, by contrast, back methods of growing and preparing food based on regional culinary traditions. When produced using traditional methods, goat cheese made in France tastes different from goat cheese made in Vermont. A goat ingests the vegetation particular to the meadow in which it grazes, which, along with other environmental factors such as altitude and weather shapes the cheese’s taste and texture. If all foods were produced under the industrial model, we would have meals that are not very flavorful.

Which choice most effectively supports the central point of the paragraph?

• NO CHANGE

• the public would not be interested in learning about traditional foods.

• people would not be able to determine how a particular food was made.

• consumers would lose this diversity of flavors.
