"Locavore" is the Oxford American Dictionary's word of the year: "'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." Well, this certainly won't help the Bay Area's sense of self-righteousness. [OUP]
