I agree, I do try to eat locally for a lot of things... as well I feel much better about eating a half a cow when it was treated humanely. I dislike modern livestock farms a lot.
But as a complete Japanophile nerd, I do eat a lot of Japanese imported things... it just tastes better and feels more right to eat kombu farmed in japan. Thankfully we do get a lot of rice grown locally in MN and that is something that can be stored over the winter.
