I'm just curious what people on this site think about the foodie movement. For those of you who don't know, it generally refers to an attention to and appreciation of food, and support of sustainably grown organic food, usually from relatively local sources. For example, someone in the foodie movement might look at a vegetable, see that it's out of season and therefore imported from Australia, and so buy something else. Foodies will often also try to grow at least some of what they consume, whether that's a backyard garden, a window box in a kitchen, or even a full-fledged farm. I'm curious because, while these people are generally liberal and associated with modern hippies, and can be quite pretentious and rude about their particular tastes and habits, I believe that conservative individuals should be able to get behind at least the supporting of self-sufficiency and buying from local small businesses.
