In an age of increasingly globalized food sources, locavores are sort of the luddites of food. Individual locavores set up a territorial radius and then roam it daily, looking for high-nutrition/high calorie foods such as nuts, berries, grubs, salmon, and deer. This will help them store fat for the coming winter months鈥� wait, those are bears. Locavores are surprisingly similar though.
Most locavores will only eat food that has been grown within a 100-mile radius of where they live and prefer to eat in-season food, even if that means bunches of kale in the summer and endless root vegetables in the winter. The reasons behind this approach are two-fold: supporting local businesses and reducing their carbon footprint at the same time. You鈥檒l find lots of them shopping at your local co-ops and farmers鈥� markets, and investing in community-supported agriculture (CSAs).
