Oh, and locally-grown does not necessarily mean organic. I think people are mixing two "politically correct" terms.
And finally, realize that eating organic and locally produced food can be considered somewhat elitist. There is no way that the population of Earth can be fed by small operations or organically-grown produce. Therefore, the majority of humans have only the choice of eating "artificially" grown/produced food - or starving. So it may be OK for you to wish to feed your family with "good" food, but there is no way that the practice can be proselytized.
