but you are supporting the local economy by buying local, building
community, using less gas (transportation of vegies from out of the
country costs a lot more, it is costing the planet dearly by us
dredging up more and more and more oil) not to mention you have more
quality control: you can always insist on seeing a local farmer's farm
and tell them what you would like , but, (do you know or can you even
find out how the grower of those vegetabes from out of the country,
what kinds of fertilizers and waters were applied (I will try to be
gentle: in some countries waters contain things like human wastes,
carcasses, and other unknown factory pollutants which do make their way
into the food people put in thier bodies).
