[a farmer is talking in front of an angry crowd, pitchforks and all] I use the worst pesticides on my crops, raise animals in cramped conditions, take their babies away for slaughter, and have little respect for the environment

[the same farmer is talking in front of a now happy crowd, hearts and all] I'm a small local independent farmer though

Eh. If you're shopping local strictly for health benefits, you're doing it wrong. Reduced transportation costs still has an important environmental effect, the money helps the local economy, and there are just so damn many fresh products that can't be obtained any other way(fresh milk and un-bleached, un-washed Eggs, for starters).
