Are You a Localvore?

Are You a Localvore?Posted by MarciaD on May 30, 2006 - 7:59am.

So you’ve heard of carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. But what about localvores? A new word that has barely entered our lexicon, localvores are those who strive to eat food produced or harvested 100-150 mile radius from their homes. For those of you who think eating organic is good enough, think again: with your food traveling an average of 1500 miles before it ends up on your dinner plate, the fuel and energy costs are substantial.
