"The best argument to eat locally is because it’s fun. Because that way you have to address directly the people who grow your food; the butcher who slaughters your chicken. And by doing that you come into direct contact with the sources of your pleasures and of your experiences. That’s a good argument for eating locally. That’s a good reason for eating locally. It puts a face on your food. A bad reason for eating locally is because it will make you a better person."
