          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • A locavore is someone who eats food grown or produced locally or within a certain radius such as 50, 100, or 150 miles (240 km). The locavore movement encourages consumers to buy from farmers’ markets or even to produce their own food, with the argument that fresh, local products are more nutritious and taste better. Locally grown food is an environmentally friendly means of obtaining food, since supermarkets that import their food use more fossil fuels and non-renewable resources. Wikipedia
          • Example sentence(s)
            • The first step to being a locavore is to determine what local means for you. This is an individual decision that should feel comfortable for you and your family. Many locavores start by trying to eat within a 100-mile radius from their homes and then adjust where necessary, sometimes encompassing an area as large as an entire state or region. - JumpStart Productions by
            • More and more people are declaring themselves locavores—meaning they’ll only eat and cook with ingredients grown locally (typically within a hundred-mile radius). The movement was born of a desire to support local producers and to reject foods shipped in from thousands of miles away on trucks and planes that deplete fossil fuels. - American Express Publishing Corporation by
            • One of my hopes in becoming a locavore was that it would help me lose weight. After all, nutrition experts say that, instead of eating french fries, hamburgers, shakes, cookies, candy, chips, etc, we should be eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. That's pretty much exactly what happens when you become a locavore. - Springfield Locavore by

          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • В един обикновен пролетен ден, обядът на писателката Сейдж Ван Уинг включва спагети и свински наденички от близката ферма. Пиперът, сиренето и лукът, които са използвани за приготвянето на спагетите са от близкия пазар. Ван Уинг е локавор (locavor) — човек, който се храни само с местно отгледана храна. http://www.p-united.org - by Andrei Vrabtchev
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Ван Уинг, която заедно с неин приятел преди 3 години са измислили думата локавор смята, че един от многото начини да се намали глобалното затопляне е да се храним с местно отгледани храни. За много хора “Хранителната миля”, разстоянието, което храната пропътува от фермата до чинията, е много лесен начин да се оцени мащабът на въздействие на храните върху глобалното затопляне. - svejo.net by Andrei Vrabtchev
            • Популярният The New Oxford American Dictionary определи locavore за дума на 2007г. Думата е съчинена и произнесена за пръв път през 2005 от Джесика Прентис, готвач и автор на кулинарни книги, за да опише практиката на консумиране изключително на местни храни. Движението "локавор" окуражава хората да купуват храна от земеделците от региона, или дори да отглеждат сами храната си, изтъквайки очевидното, че пресните местни продукти са по-вкусни и хранителни. - http://lifestyle.ibox.bg by Andrei Vrabtchev
