Cons to Eating Locally

Your address will dictate what your diet is like.

I was just in San Francisco and shopped at the local farmers' market. The produce there was diverse, fresh and delicious. However, on the East Coast your options will be quite limited especially in winter months when crops cannot grow. Summertime in NY does lend itself to lots of fresh goodies that you can take advantage of like corn, apples, tomatoes, green leafies, and of course fresh fish caught right offshore.

Farmers' markets are also harder to come by. In the city there are a few, Union Square being the largest and most popular, but even it is not open everyday. If you haven't been there I highly suggest it during this time of year.
