The Urban Dictionary now lists the word “foodwired” as part of the American vocabulary.
People who are foodwired are extremely conscious about the food they eat and the food they buy, as well as where it came from and whether it is healthy and sustainable.
According to the Urban Dictionary, if you are foodwired, you:
- know the importance of eating local, healthy, sustainable food
- want to know more about what you eat
- try to make better decisions about what you eat
Examples:
She asked the waiter whether the chicken was organic. She is totally foodwired.
The neighbors are growing food in every inch of their small urban yard. They are really foodwired.
Today, I’m really foodwired. I cooked with totally organic, local ingredients.
