Local food

This is old news, but a nice piece by Steve Sexton on Freakonomics address the problems with local food. Again, it's not that it's wrong to grow your own food or eat what's produced by the farm down the street: it's the locavore's insistence on consuming local as much as possible that can get to be a problem. Maybe you disagree, but at least read the article to see what this guy's thinking.
