... It was a little hard to give up grapes in winter, and we still get coffee, tea, chocolate, spices, [&] occasionally bananas...

Are those bananas grown in Ice Land?

As I freely admitted already, we are not 100% local in our consumption. But we are way, way more than we used to be. Even our milk, eggs, flour, 95% of meat come from within 6 miles or our own farm.

I still buy plenty of spices, treats, coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, some fresh fruit and veggies and winter and I'm sure other things I'm not thinking of right now from the store.

I'm not trying to make any point other than that we could all eat a lot more local than we may think. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Nations have always traded things like salt and spices. I just find it crazy to buy things from across the planet that I could grow in my own yard.
