Oxford University Press has declared the word of the year to be Locavore.
They say,
“Locavore” was coined two years ago by a group of four women in San Francisco who proposed that local residents should try to eat only food grown or produced within a 100-mile radius. Other regional movements have emerged since then, though some groups refer to themselves as “localvores” rather than “locavores.” However it’s spelled, it’s a word to watch.
Bonnie at the Ethicurean sends congratulations to:
the original locavore four, and the legions of Eat Local Challenge participants, "Animal Vegetable Miracle" readers, and "Plenty"-inspired 100-Mile dieters who spread this important philosophical meme throughout America!
That's you! Thanks for doing everything you do to spread the word about eating locally. You deserve a big pat on the back.
