In the 19th Century you did have only locally grown products.

In large cities most children could not get fresh milk. None could get fresh orange juice. In the winter fresh fruits and vegetables were not available. People in the Northeast, Midwest and Mountain States seldom saw an orange or other citrus fruit their entire lives.

Malnutrition was common. Food was much more expensive. People's life expectancy was shorter.

Some time ago I found a site that featured photos from Ft. Riley, KS from around the 1870s to around WWI. Some of the photos were of Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners from way back then. I was amazed to see bananas on the tables - I couldn't figure out how they had managed to make the trip that must have taken a few weeks and still be good enough to eat.

That IS the goal and the point of the Greenie movement.
