As a child I have some of my fondest memories going to Farmers Markets, with my grandfather. It was a very personal experience including our eating habits… actually knowing who grew the food we ate. It brought eating into a sphere of care by the food growers and those of us who were the food consumers. No price look-up codes. You know those non-biodegradable, non-compostable stickers put on our fruits and vegetables, to inform cashiers of pricing and consumers of whether or not that piece of produce is conventionally grown or organic. This is a fairly new way of doing the work of informing us about eating foods that have been sprayed with pesticide, insecticides, herbicides or fungicides… PLU stickers. You may ask why is that important? Well with many ailments reaching epidemic proportions like chronic non-communicable diseases (cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, etc.) PLU’s are closely related to the lifestyle choices making what we eat more important than how much we eat!
