Agreed.  I only buy local produce (no California stuff for this 
California native!) and mostly at farmers markets.  Unfortunately, CSAs 
aren't practical for singles, which is something they really should 
address.  We're a significant -- but invisible to politicians & 
marketers -- part of the population.
I also have a garden, but that's more for amusement than practicality. :)

The new Tom Hanks film is based on a book full of lies, deceit & corruption.  
It's also based on Dan Brown's "The daVinci Code"
