Are local economies somehow more worthwhile than distant economies? I don't quite understand that argument.

- tptacek 16y agoThey are if you want to build a life in your local community. But that aside: a small, high-quality farm in Nebraska is just as worthy of support as a small, high-quality farm in Wisconsin. The problem is, a small, high-quality farm anywhere is more worthy of support than Cargill. Patronizing local farms instead of supermarkets means less of your money goes to Cargill. That's a good thing.
