US - More Americans than ever before are supporting their local food markets, and it's not just because they believe the food is fresher and tastes better. According to a new University of Iowa study, people are shopping farmers markets and joining food coops at record numbers because they enjoy knowing who grows their food. These so-called "locavores" are also driven to eat locally grown produce and meat because their commitment to do so makes them feel a part of something greater than themselves - a community that shares their passion for a healthy lifestyle and a sustainable environment. For these enthusiasts, supporting the local food movement is a sort of civic duty, an act to preserve their local economy against the threats of globalisation and big-box stores.
美国——更多的美国人比以往任何时候都支持当地食品市场，不只是因为他们认为食物是新鲜的，味道更好。根据爱荷华大学的一项新研究，人们从农贸市场和食品合作社购物处于纪录高位，因为他们知道谁种植他们的食物。这些所谓的“本土膳食主义 ”吃当地生产的食品和肉，因为他们的努力让他们觉得自己能做得更多——社区分享他们健康的生活方式和维持一个可持续发展的环境。对于这些爱好者而言，支持本地食品运动是公民的一种义务，一种来保护他们的当地经济全受全球化大超市威胁的行为。
