Reminds me of the "buying locally grown food" argument that's premised on the assumption that buying locally grown food requires less carbon emissions because the food doesn't have to be transported from far away. HOWEVER that argument ignores that even after factoring in transportation, those larger industrial farms are farm more efficient than your local farm. So even with transportation the industrially sourced food might be more carbon efficient.
