I buy locally myself, where possible. Look at it the other way: China is selling the world its cheap trinkets... see the results - they are making a lot of money from selling the word poisonous and worthless gadgets and toys. I buy, as much as possible, and within reason, from local producers and manufacturers (local as in: from my neighborhood, from my city, from my region, from my country - in that order). It's in my interest, local businesses' interest, and that of the community in which I live. We mustn't let a bunch of wishy-washy pinkoes with a political agenda hi-jack this. Local jobs, products, and services for locals, patroned by locals. As much as possible.

I have seen some funky things growing there nearby but certainly not anything I would want to eat. Are they bringing it on electric cars fueled by their carbon-emitting power stations? Just a thought.

Some ideas are so dumb, only a "progressive" can believe them. The ability to grow foods all over the world and ship them anywhere inexpensively has permitted people to eat a far better and healthier diet than a century ago.
