style="FONT-SIZE: 14px">"Eat locally" has become the new moral mantra for
citizen gastronomes concerned about global warming, corporate agriculture, and
the dissolution of community. So quickly and broadly has the movement spread
that even Wal-Mart touts locally-grown produce on its enormous shelves. But how
much do food miles matter? And what does this cavalcade to the farmers' market
say about our fears and hopes as a culture faced with overlapping crises? Is
buying "local" necessarily ethical, or is it more complicated than that? Join us
for a lively conversation — and some low-food-mile nibblies! — on this hot
topic.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
