Isn't that you just being too greedy? I don't expect to be able to 
afford the best of everything unless I'm a football star or win the 
lottery or something.

A long time ago you could only buy local, between then and now (when 
there was plenty of choice) everyone has voted with their wallets that 
they would rather buy the cheaper non-local mass-produced items. Large 
corporations are simply providing us with what we want. If they thought 
everyone wanted local items (and were happy to pay a premium), they'd 
sell local items.

Just wait, the gradient of average GDP increase (in real terms) has been 
a steady doubling every 15 years since about 1850, and has shown no 
signs of slowing.
