That is a good statement. When you also consider that money spent on 
local foods with local farmers recirculates in your community and comes 
back to you, then it isn't as expensive as it seems at first glance. The 
'green' revolution was actually a black revolution of Petroleum and long 
distance centralization. Funny how the same people who fight so hard 
against communism work twice as hard to set up centralized industrial 
planning. The only difference being the profit motive going to 
executives instead of Politiks.

Cheap food isn't cheap. You just don't pay for it at the grocery store. 
You pay for it at the doctor, the gas station, and with our sons and 
daughters.
Living on the Land requires that people acknowledge that there is more 
to food than calories, and there is more to community than having a 
shopping mall 20 miles away.

Like Paul said, First buy Local, then Organic. After that, yer on yer own.
