Why I LUV WSJ:

Think Locally, Act Globally
From the New York Times:

The local food movement has been all about buying seasonal food from nearby farmers. Now, thanks to the Web, it is expanding to include far-away farmers too.

A new start-up, Foodzie, is an online farmers market where small, artisan food producers and growers can sell their products. Foodies in Florida, say, can order raw, handcrafted pepperjack cheese from Traver, Calif., or organic, fair-trade coffee truffles from Boulder, Colo.

What a great idea! And why not take it one step further? Farmers could band together and form large organizations--call them "corporations"--to grow and distribute mass quantities of food. Retail operations could be set up in every town; they would be sort of super farmers markets, or "supermarkets" for short. Soon everyone everywhere would be able to buy local food from all over the world!
