Pros and Cons of Only Eating Local Foods

One of my readers recently asked me a question I get all the time: “Fred, why do you never talk about the benefits of eating local foods, and how come you eat so much imported fruit?”

At least a few times a week, I get a question on how to eat a raw food diet in Northern climates where fruit is not available year round, and how come we should eat imported mangoes instead of other local foods like vegetables, grains and animal products.
