If your time is worthless, or if you have a lot of fun gardening, then have at it. But the whole media "money is short, lets grow our own food" trend is not reasonable.
Besides, you get to meet hot ass granola girls at farmer's markets. Start spouting off about greenhouse gasses and icebergs and you're in like Flint.
while modern science and bio-engineering have done wonders in the field of agriculture,it has not been without its costs.but to even suggest that organic is somehow bad for you is flat out wrong."co-opts" are becoming more and more prevalent and thats a good thing.growing your own produce is far cheaper than any grocery store could provide.
if you found this an interesting topic,there is a video on the sift that is a fantastic documentary:

Nature is just a bunch of chemicals. Everything is chemicals.
Organic on principle is not the way to go. You choose the best physical product, and organic methods are limiting your options of how to produce said product based on the afforementioned appeal to nature, rather than what is actually shown to be harmful through physical evidence.
As far as buying locally -- if it's cheaper, sure. If it's not, then why are you paying for a less efficient food distribution method with a larger greenhouse impact? So what if your food comes from across the country if the shipping is super efficient instead of some inefficient local distribution chain. It's more complicated than "local is better": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_miles
If someone's time is worth $30 per hour and they spend an hour for every $5 bunch of carrots they grow, their home garden becomes very expensive. Time is money (within certain constraints).
Again, though, moderation is crucial. If you expend all sorts of energy and cortisol worrying about pesticides and how to afford a more "organic" diet, then you aren't doing yourself a lick of good. Relax, and don't put all your eggs in one basket: grow some food yourself, try to support local farmers often (for cost, health and the local economic boost), but do NOT fret about buying mass-produced food too. Both are very important to having a healthy, secure and efficient food industry in our modern society. We would be unwise to concentrate production too much (as is the current trend), but producing everything local and organic is only efficient and environmentally sound in a few areas of the world.
