Local food enters political debate

Sort of.

"We've been moving back to 'buy local,'" Mrs. Edwards said, outlining a trade policy that "acknowledges the carbon footprint" of transporting fruit.

"I live in North Carolina. I'll probably never eat a tangerine again," she said, speaking of a time when the fruit reaches the price that it "needs" to be [taking carbon emissions into account to determine pricing].

Interested to see if this line of discussion goes anywhere over the next 15 months or so.
