The box stores should worry. People want to eat locally.
Here's an article from Advertising Age, of all places.

One neat way to tell Big Oil to kiss off is to refuse
to buy food that has to be transported ridiculous distances.
That would also torque big, corporate agri-bidness, like
Monsanto, ADM and Cargill, with their GM food crops.

Talk is cheap -- the only thing that will get their attention
is how/where you decide to spend your money.
