Local or organic
This question has been getting a lot of attention in the green media lately, particularly as large agricultural interests (and large retailing interests) have entered the organic food market. I find myself more inclined toward local, if I have to make a choice.
Here's an article from the Green Guide on the topic (I hope the link works; Green Guide is a subscription service)http://www.thegreenguide.com/doc.mhtml?i=116&s=local
My reasoning is that 'local' is probably 'small' and that small is less likely to be highly dependent on petrochemicals. I think this point of view is tending to be how many people who think about the subject feel.
