Locavorism

From a global perspective, locavorism begins to look like a narcissistic pseudomoralistic club for the wealthy to keep food and money circulating among their own tight little cliques.

But intentional locavorism as a phenomenon is quite recent, and only exists within and against the context of the globalized corporate food market.

Culturally, locavorism is often framed as a form of ethical consumer resistance to the control of food by transnational corporations, as well as a personally rewarding activity.
