Locavore: a person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food.
What is Bittman's opinion of the locavore lifestyle? Home cooking became less important and much less nutritious when women entered the work force. The consumption of real plants and vegetables drastically dropped, and unhealthy foods became the chosen sustenance for families.
So basically, he feels that you should eat what is grown within close driving distance. That a person would be healthier if they ate naturally grown stuff, without all the additives, did without junk foods, and did without prepackaged meals.
