Anna prefers to buy her produce from her local farmers’ market rather than from grocery stores that ship produce from all over the country. What term applies to Anna’s purchasing preference?

A. omnivore
B. locavore
C. carnivore
D. herbivore

Respuesta :

B. locavore. This is because a locavore is a person that has a diet consisting mostly of locally grown/produced food.

The correct answer is option(b) locavore.

A locavore is a person who prefers to have a diet consisting of locally grown or produced food. Locavores prefer to have food that are grown or farmed close to the places of sales or local markets. In a way, they help in establishing connection with food producers of the same geographical area, helping in improving the economy of the area and obtaining a healthy food. They also help in avoiding the energy expenditure involved in transportation of food from distant places.

An omnivore refers to a person who eats food from plant and animal orgin. A Carnivore is a person who eats flesh and an herbivore is a person depending on plants and their products for food.

Thus, Anna is a locavore who prefers to buy her produce from her local farmers’ market rather than from grocery stores that ship produce from all over the country.
