This year, localvorism has been the rage; Green City Market's eat-locally challenge immediately rushes to mind. Some, though, have gone further than just buying food from local sources.

When the challenge ended, he had earned the neighborhood recognition of eccentricity. Listen to the story here and see what he thinks of this extreme localvorism.
