    Is there a proper term for a type of diet wherein the person eats only foods that grow or were alive within a certain radius of where the person lives?

    don't know if there is a proper or invented term, but look into seasonal diets (usually if you eat local produce only, you are eating with the seasons)

    My dictionary really sucks. It suggests 2 words, but it doesn't tell me what they mean. :mad: Maybe you'll have better luck looking them up:
    oligolectic
    stenophagous

    Both definitions courtesy of dictionary.com

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find an entry for "oligolectic" on either dictionary.com or m-w.com (Mirriam-Webster), but a google search results in tons of entries about bees. I have no clue what the word means, though. =(

    Edit:

    From http://www.amrozayed.com/re.html

    That was the best I could find. =\

    Woa thanks, Hi-Z! (and here's me thinking 'stenophagous' was that big brown elephant on Sesame Street...)
