For the same reasons, local food can be just as bad, if not worse than organic food. It takes far more energy to grow citrus fruit in New York City than it does in Chicago. It would be terrible for the environment to insist that all the citrus fruit consumed in northern cities be grown there, instead of warmer climates.

Maybe, but I'm not exactly seeing a big push for this. I mean, the farm share we buy from doesn't sell anything that won't grow in our area.
