Description: http://www.locavoremovie.com
Locavore is an inspiring new documentary about the inevitable return to the local diet. Less than a generation ago human beings worldwide traveled less than 10 miles to obtain the majority of the food they ate. Today the average conventionally grown vegetable has traveled more than 1500 miles by the time it has reached your pantry. Our food today is over processed, stale, and lacks nutrition. This new film, featuring some of the neo-pioneers of the Locavore movement will educate, inspire, and revitalize bringing health to our bodies AND our communities.

In other words, if I eat only a local diet, I'll never eat Chinese food again? No tacos? What's available for local food here? A steady diet of green beans and zucchini and beef of some sort? Oh corn! How can I forget corn. Oh yeah, and soybeans. Good ole tofu.
Okay, tomatoes. But I can't even make a decent spaghetti sauce unless I grow the herbs and garlic myself.
Basil anyone?

"A locavore is a person or persons who eat primarily or exclusively foods grown within 100 mile radius of their homes.
The word Locavore was deemed word of the year in 2007 by Oxford American Dictionary"
Looks like I'll have to grow a larger garden. Ginger is not grown locally. Neither is tea. Bamboo shoots?
sighhhhhh, no seafood. Catfish and bass is not seafood.
I give up.
