I agree with everything you said.
That said, it's really tough to find out where some of the food comes from if it isn't labelled as such, esp. the prepackaged stuff that says where it was packaged, not where it's grown.
Generally, I've been trying to eat only locally when I can find out where the food came from. Unfortunately, even at "local" farmers markets I've found peaches that were shipped in from Washington, spinach from California, etc. ad nauseum. If I only ate what I could be certain was local I'd starve.
What's the name of the producer in Illinois?
Sometime in the next couple weeks I was planning on starting a thread on eating locally (things only produced within 100 mi. of where you live). I wanted to get some resources together first, but really this is a good place to segue to it, so maybe I'll go ahead and start it and just post resources as I have the time.
