Moderation in All Things--Locavore Gives Up

An Oregon man gave up his attempt to eat only locally-grown food after 8 months according to this piece in the StatesmanJournal of the Williamette Valley (HT Treehugger). Give him credit for the try. Part of the problem was he used more gas to get the food than he saved by eating food grown locally. He also, apparently, missed bananas.
