Words fairly recently added to English (such as "locavore"), words originating in other languages (such as "umami"), and familiar words used in obscure ways (such as "heirloom")--all these may need defining to eliminate confusion. 

A definition may also help folks tell a fruit from a vegetable.  The problem here is that what's considered a fruit by the average person is somewhat different from the scientist's classification.   We've consulted various expert sources to find authoritative definitions and help your food vocabulary become larger and more accurate.

How much would you like to know about the animal that may be contributing a roast to your dinner?  Would you like to meet in "person"? Probably not (though some people would). Would you like to see its photo? Maybe not. But what if, by scanning the bar code on the package, you could learn this type of information: where the animal was raised, what hormones or antibiotics (if any) it was treated with, what vaccines were administered, what type of diet it was fed, and how old it was when slaughtered?
