Well, food #1. But it's not really local and American either because the farmer who grew it almost certainly has foreign ancestors, making him not 100% American. And he might use machinery that was made in a Chinese sweatshop. And the soil most likely migrated from somewhere else over the millennia.
So you're right. Instead of buying Christmas presents at the local Maker's Market or craft show, people should do without until those ships can get unloaded and trucks can get it to Walmart. Because why on earth would you want to give a unique item when you can hang on a few months and give a belated Chia Pet?
