If we want to get nitpicky about locale of food sourcing, some things simply don't grow in a lot of places in the U.S. so you can't get them locally. At least not year round. And arguably, they probably shouldn't be. Modern agriculture has obliterated native plants, and even the microbes supporting the correct soil conditions for those plants. Eating environmentally sound and "locally" means eating native plants, and when that's not possible, it means eating the animals that do eat those plants. Ask people to do that. It's not very practical.
