This week The Observer coins a new word to describe those enthusiastic eaters who spend an inordinate amount of time discussing, blogging, contemplating, and tweeting about food: They are foodiots, and New York is crawling with them. We hope this catches on, because "foodie" just doesn't go far enough to describe a mother tweeting about her homemade pear tofu purée nutmeg baby food.

I just wonder how many gothamist readers also read eater (and vice versa). Y'see, eater ran this news this morning, so why does gothamist waste bandwidth (I guess that's an old concept now) by repeating it. One more item for the Dept. of Redundency Department.
Believe it or not, not everyone has time to read every blog. And this isn't "news" either, just a referral to an entertaining article.
This topic was already discussed on the internet. INFORMATION OVERLOAD!!!!!!!
Why yes, another blog among millions of blogs posted this one article already, so of course it's not worth posting again. And there is so much known crossover between the eater blog and Gothamist, since one is about New York and the other is about eating.

Nerd alert!
Not sure about the Observer's coinage, as there is a Wordpress blog named Foodiot with an archive going back to August. I also found a comment on a Chicago-based blog from 9/08 using the term.
foodiot, foodie. the relevant word to describe these people is idiot.
Another slight and worthless post by none other than Del Signore
I personally wish to be referred to as a "fooder."
I thought I hated "foodie", but I hate "foodiot" so much more.
Does Foodidiot also apply to bloggers who write about food carts and wine tastings with celebrities?
