The New Oxford American dictionary has recently announced its new list of words, as well as it’s word of the year for 2007. Drum roll? The new word of the year is locavore, meaning people who eat locally-produced and farmed food. The idea behind it is that locally-produced food supports the economy, is fresher, requires less carbon emission in transport, and often the small, locally-owned farms use fewer pesticides and growth hormones. Healthier food all-around.
And now, those who have seen the light, locavores, have been given official status by the New Oxford American Dictionary. One small victory for the green side.
