The food that ends up on the average American table has traveled about 1500 miles and that burns up a lot of fossil fuel.
To reduce the impact, more people are choosing to eat food that's grown locally.
They call themselves locavores.
Locavores are allowed some exceptions. Coffee and rice are things that aren't grown in most parts of the United States.
