I read it. Transportation is really cheap. Most of the carbon footprint is in the last mile getting product into stores.

City agriculture is great, and the city isn't doing enough to allocate underused public lands to community gardens, or allowing backyard animal husbandry. Moving from allowing agriculture to the further moves the localvore movement wants (mandated local content in food supplied at city facilities, subsidies for local food) is a step too far.
