...consumption preference makes sense. Right now where I am, locally grown apples are coming up. Peach season just ended. I enjoy eating that stuff. But the environmental argument doesn't hold up. I watched a documentary about Portland, Ore., and in it there was a woman who drove her minivan 25 miles to a local farm to buy a few days' worth of produce. So that's a 50-mile round trip for maybe 10 lb. of groceries. Whatever sense of environmental sainthood she felt was vastly outweighed by the energy of using an entire minivan to collect...
