Fruits, vegetables not as nutritious as 50 years ago

"In spite of what Mother taught you about the benefits of eating broccoli, data collected by the U.S. government show that the nutritional content of America's vegetables and fruits has declined during the past 50 years -- in some cases dramatically."

Stating the obvious? Still, eating vegetables has got to be better than junk food. Reply to this article / Report this article

Oh definitely - that's where supermarkets beat the crap outta the local markets and small business - because they're just so /convenient/.

That's also why a large burden of responsibility is on supermarkets' shoulders to make a point of selling locally grown produce.

I know that some Waitrose stores have locally grown/made specials that are only available in the local stores - that's a good place to start, I reckon.
