There is an argument against getting everything local as well, but I think there is nothing wrong with buying local, from say the farmers market, when certain things are in season. However, if you think all your food should be locally grown there are economic reasons why that just doesn't work or make sense when you look at global food supply.
But I do agree that when local means fresher, it typically means better tasting. I know the raspberries out of my girlfriends moms patch taste a lot better than the store bought ones that cost a fortune.
