A person who eats only locally grown and produced food.

CONT

A localvore is [also] a person committed to eating and learning about food grown within their food shed. Localvores recognise that there are multiple benefits of eating food grown close to home. The informal movement has sprouted in the past five years in response to a food supply that has become increasingly global and sprawling.

CONT

Vous l'aurez deviné, un localvore est quelqu'un qui mange « local »! Qu'ils se disent localvores ou non, qu'ils soient d'Europe, des États-Unis ou d'ici, les consommateurs qui achètent en priorité des aliments produits localement sont de plus en plus nombreux. Ils le font principalement pour encourager l'économie locale, diminuer leur impact sur l'environnement et mieux connaître ce qu'ils mangent.

Usually human cases are related to contaminated food, especially poultry, eggs, milk and their products. Persons who work with animals may become infected by the agent shed in animal feces. Human Salmonellosis may occur 6-72 hours after ingestion of the agent. Fever, muscle aches, headache and malaise are followed by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The diarrhea may resolve in 2-4 days but some people may continue to shed the bacteria with no signs of disease. Some types of Salmonella can cause septicemia which can result in a disease of longer duration and greater severity.
