Firestone Pathfinder - Hyperlocavore: When Local Isn't Local Enough
The locavore movement, for all its best intentions, has experienced a significant backlash since it's inception in 2005. The practice has been accused of being too narrow in its scope and often leading to greater inefficiencies. If nothing else, there are two magic little beans, namely coffee and cocoa, which might bring a potential adopter to their knees. The concept is one that, like most dietary matters, is probably best taken in moderation. The term hyperlocavore, then, might be met with considerable reservations, as it seems implies anything but. However, what the hyperlocavore movement cultivates, eating and sharing fresh produce grown in your community by people you know, is hard to argue with.
I'm a big fan of the YouTube cooking show. These are videos I've gathered because things look tasty or the cook is a hoot, or maybe I learned something new. What we cook and what we eat is so deeply part of our culture and identity, I would never preach what one should or shouldn't eat. The one thought that I will leave people with is that meat is very resource intensive. I do encourage people to experiment, so I have added a few videos that encourage new views on food. Try new things. Your taste buds will thank you! I call it the Agnostic Cooking Show because I am including all kinds of cooking and thinking about food.
Personally, I am planning to start experimenting with more raw food mainly because I think it will be interesting to see if my energy increases. It seems I have much more on my plate and much less energy. It's a personal choice, and I will probably start right after we finish up the last of the pulled pork I made recently.
I love to learn new way of doing things and new meals. If you have great video recipes or a DIY cooking show, please share with us on our Youtube channel.
Happy digging and eating! LizM
