Which is which? Which do you consider "worst" and which "best" in your list? What's wrong with eating locally (#4)?  ???

hehe, in theory it's great but there are drawbacks...for instance, this week's New Yorker discusses the dubiousness of the Brooklyn Fishing Derby, in the East River between Red HOok and Long Island City.

Very quickly I realized that trends can begin well and then turn bad and vice versa. So I'll leave it up to the reader to decide which is best and worst.
