i agree with mirage 897 too! my point is that we need to be asking questions about what we are asking for when we import food. the current standard is that whoever can afford it, can get it and does get it without ever thinking about whether or not burning the fossil fuels or paying people in low wages is worth it and without asking whether or not these things are happening to get them what they want - in many cases the answer is that the food has been grown, harvested and transported fairly and ecologically because sometimes we eat locally without even knowing it.
there are a lot of foods i would have trouble giving up - like seafood, for example. i'm not sure that i'm willing to do it. but the point is that i need to be THINKING about my choices when i make them.
