Unless someone has really serious allergies (like a friend of mine who's allergic to all nightshades), it shouldn't be too hard to find at least most of their unprocessed food locally. If people in Maine can do so, I'd guess that it's possible in most of the US. That said, eating only local food takes more time and energy, especially to store produce for winter, and not everyone can do so. This post goes into some of the associated issues...but I think the major thing for people to consider right now is that eating some locally grown and/or processed food is better than eating none.
Oh, and re. local foods and allergies/special foods--if one makes one's food from basic ingredients instead of eating processed foods, it's a lot easier to avoid the things to which one is allergic, especially if those things are common additives.
Sorry my comment got so long. :)
