I went there, prepared to do battle in honour of local food, but I must say I agree with the author, who approves of local food, but who decries the “hyper-local” movement of indoor urban food production, using grow-lights and inputs shipped from far away.

:::: The story of fast food traces a path of wreckage that starts with chemical factory shipments to the farm, proceeds through inhumane slaughterhouses to portion-control factories churning out uniform buns and patties to numbed minimum-wage workers, and ends up in the hospital in the form of obesity, diabetes, and heart attacks -- an allegory of modernity. -- Paul Hawken <http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Paul+Hawken>
