A Close Shave

Look, I'll be honest with you. It's hard for me to focus on the finer points of this AP article about eating locally grown food. I think the reason for my confusion is the first paragraph of the piece:

Dick Shave got a duck for dinner. It was firm, fresh and - this is very important when you're only eating food grown within 100 miles - raised nearby.

Hang on here; just one second, please.

What was it that was firm, fresh, and raised nearby?

Oh, right.

Ahem. But seriously. If your name was Richard Shave, would you go by Dick?
