eating local

Eating local: Earnest or Elitist? is a really great post/article.  As much as I agree with the idea of eating local (and support it with as much as my food money as is viable/convenient), that the movement continually ignores the fact that being able to make the choice to eat local is, in most communities, improbable and overly expensive, annoys me.  Also, building an infrastructure around local/”good” food to parallel the existing food delivery structure only gets “good” local food to people who have the money to afford it and creates an ever widening divide for everyone else.  I want to get money to farmers who want to deliver the best possible food to my house.  But I’d also like everyone else to get that too….
