Other forms: locavores
A locavore is someone who tries to limit their diet to food that was grown nearby. Locavores who live in Vermont, the largest producer of maple syrup in the U.S., might use the sweet syrup instead of sugar as a sweetener.
A restaurant with a menu that explains exactly where each locally grown item of food came from is a dream for locavores. They do their best to eat fruit, vegetables, dairy, and meat that come from local farms. A locavore who lives near the coast might also include fish, shellfish, seaweed, and sea salt in their diet. The California chef Jessica Prentice is given credit for coining locavore in 2005 from local and the Latin vorare, "devour."
