please look to the positives in this argument as any amount of careful study will prove that local food is best all round... importing food by boat is ok, will be better when they add sails to the boats again - whereas importing soft fruit and easily grown salad by plane is a quick way to add millions of unnecessary tonnes of co2 to the atmosphere - we have to take some personal responsibility for our choices!

cruz: It's complex, but I think it's about doing the best you can in your particular situation.

Cool...buy local food when you can, good idea. Now about oil, lets see...everything in your home is made from it (appliances, etc), your car is made from it, your shoes are made from it, and on and on and on...So what do we do???

j/k i disagree somewhat. I do like the idea about buying from and helping out small family farms.

It appears that you've already gone backwards.

@ B4: And then the world stops technological innovation for 50 years, then the same thing grows up because of need to advance, then people like you make us go backwards again.
