Food 101

I am not a foodie by any stretch of my imagination, but I love cooking in that it brings friends together and it is fun and yum, especially when it involves a grill! However, I came across some thoughts on people who are taking the "let's make up new words and ways of doing things" way too seriously. I am all for doing the local thing - shopping, eating, buying - but do we really need a word for it?

“Locavore” was 2007’s Word of the Year, according to the Oxford University Press. If you need to know more, you can learn how to eat like a locavore and become a locavore.

Really? Do we really need all of the verbage. What about just saying "Buy, Eat, Shop, Love Local"?

But wait, it gets even worse in 2 Ought Ate. Let's not forget our Vegangelicals & the Retrovores, eh? What in the world is a Veganelical you ask? Well, here you go - http://www.eatingliberally.org/tags/vegangelical

I (er, we if you include the link) am asking...do you think this is too much, too?

Buy, Eat, Shop, Love Local! That is my easy Food 101 Local lesson.
