My wife tries to "buy local" but we get into arguments about whether the label means small and responsible, or is just conglomerate advertising.

I am moving toward survivalism. I hope to get off the grid or nearly as possible in the next 5 years. By then it may be to late. We love to buy local, but really I don't think there is any proof positive that you get a better product, other than growing and supporting your local economy. A country side stand that I bought "home grown" tomatoes at for years had actually importing them from NC. They still tasted great, but they were not local. You do have to be careful and at least ask before you buy.
