It's true! Locavore--defined as "one who eats foods grown locally"--is official. The word is one of about 100 that Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary has added to its latest edition. (Read about it and the other words here.)

Personally, though, I'd have preferred they added "localvore" with an "L." Locavore sounds a little too much like loco to me ...
