OK, that is overstating it. I missed the whole ‘locavore’ thing, which is where people try to eat what is grown locally. The word ‘locavore’ got so much traction in 2007 that it was named the Oxford Word of the Year for 2007. The locavore movement was a big thing in San Francisco, which is where a lot of trends start.
Locavore is one of those situations that works on a case-by-case basis. Some places are better for local growing, others are better off importing. Different crops have vastly different economics. And as for meat, well, that is a whole new ballgame.
The best part of the locavore movement is that it made people think about their food supply.
