I don’t know, but if that makes food prices a little cheaper, I am for it. I would hope that a lot of food farming gets more local too.

Yes, this would be great, but I just don’t see it happening. Increases in the cost of doing business almost always gets passed on to the consumer, but unfortunately it seems that decreases in the cost of doing business more often than not just lead to stabilization of prices - not a drop.

You'll have to chose between the two, because it's unlikely you can have both at once.

Like electricity, foods are produced nearer the source of the raw ingredients, corn fed beef in the Midwest for example, near where the corn is grown for example.
