Wow, a local couple wants to buy "only local" food........

In concept, this appears to be a noble cause.  Save the planet (which one? Saturn?  Uranus?) etc. by buying locally and reducing the environmental impact of food production.

Unfortunately, in spite of what the N and O 1/9/08 article says, and what the local couple wishes to do, buying locally is not necessarily more "eco".  I challenged the reporter but didn't get much more than a "huh?" for a reply.  Don't think she got it.

Check this out, if you are into the facts:

Of course in a "facts optional" world such as exists within the carbonaceous circle of Weaver Street, it is more about feeling good about oneself, and giving oneself a "moral high-five" than actually making a difference.

Sorry, folks, you can buy local all you want, you are not doing anything for the planet.  Game over, the poser exposer has struck again!

Whew, I just heated that one to 400F and baked for 2 hours......time to switch off the burner....maybe I should leave the pilot lit just in case!
