A couple nights ago I went to go hear a talk by Michael Pollen, the guy who wrote The Omnivore's Dilemma, a book that discusses the origins and makeup of what we eat. It was so interesting! I haven't read the book, but now I plan to, since he talked about a few of the topics that he discusses in the book. The main point was, we cannot keep eating the way we are, transporting food hundreds of thousands of miles before we can even buy it at the store--it just uses too much fuel and doesn't make sense!
Thus, it's really important to shop at a local farmer's market or co-op to support locally grown stuff, even if it's not organic. So yes.

This turned into a rather preachy article, but I really just wanted to make everyone aware of this interesting book and important topic!
