I can't claim to have read the book. Actually I hadn't heard of the book until this week. I first came across the name when a deli called Foodies opened in Auckland in the early '80's. It was very good and I rather liked the name. My understanding of the name was as the Oxford said "A person with a strong interest in food." The Heather Irwin description echoed my feelings. I can understand your dislike of the word if your first sentence is how you see the word. I don't see it that way. Thanks Ed for explaining your thoughts. I can’t claim to have read the book.

Barbara, I've always thought the implication was that the person is indiscriminating of their love of food. All I can say is I try an avoid a round belly and my plate is rarely clean as I don't eat everything I'm served either because I'm full or don't like it. I'm actually very picky about what I want to eat to the point of being a fascist. The book The Official Foodie Handbook came out and the phrase caught-on about the same time as the Official Sloan Ranger Handbook. Both were really a joke on the people who bought them. I probaby need to think more on this and post something. Buy Fresh - do you mind not comment spamming on my blog? By all means comment but the links are gratuatous.
