I agree that it is important to consider food mile...

I agree that it is important to consider food miles but not be totally constricted by them. More important though is the idea of regional food security. What will we eat when the oil runs out or becomes too expensive? Sydneysiders and Melbournites will likely quickly starve once the supermarket shelves are bare, but regional areas have the possibility of being able to feed themselves if something is done now.
Supporting local farmers and producers will enable regions the best chance of being able to feed themselves, with the added benefit of cutting down on food miles.
Instead of focussing on food miles, maybe we should be worrying about our local food security (and we should be walking or riding our bikes to the shops, but that is a whole other story).
Interesting post, thanks for getting me thinking :)
