Locavore

This is a new word for me, and probably for you: Locavore: someone who eats food grown or produced locally. Bill Payack, who tracks English words through his web site, Global Language Monitor, says it's an official word. It has appeared in The Sun eight times since July 2007, and never before that. I looked it up because I've been invited to a Locavore Pot Luck Dinner on July 13 in Mount Washington. I wasn't sure what I'd be eating. (I thought a locavore was some wild animal I'd missed.) "The rule for our locavore dinner is that everyone must bring a dish made from ingredients grown within 75 miles of your home," says Clark Semmes, of the Mount Washington Green Club. Thanks for the invitation. Looking forward to it.
