retrovore
n.— «The best moment at this market was when I found out I’m a retrovore. That’s a new word, invented today. One of the farmers we were chatting with said his kid said to him “Dad, if you didn’t raise animals the way you do, I’d probably be a vegan.” He said, “I probably would too.” That’s when they came up with the term “retrovore.” One who eats food that was raised the way it should have been raised… like they used to do it before they learned how to ruin it.» —“Vegetables of Mass CONVENTION—Austin Edition!” by OrangeClouds115 in Austin, Texas Daily Kos Jan. 6, 2008.
