"Hi! My name is Denise Bennett. What we're trying to do today is buy organic locally grown if we can. If you live in small town, that might be kind of hard. You might have to grow it yourself. If you're in a big city, just maybe get on the internet and take a look. Put in a search engine organic fruits and vegetables in your town. It'll probably come up. What we're doing today is we're favoring this particular small market because they have organic fruits and vegetables, which is what I'm looking for. It's healthy for me; it's healthy for the planet. Also, locally grown is nice if you can. The reason for that is the farther it travels, it's going to lose value. As soon as it whatever it is, the fruit or vegetable, comes off the tree or the vine, it's going to start to die. If it has traveled across the state, it's half dead by the time you're getting it. There goes taste and also the nutrients. Also, if you can, try not to pick things that are so far away that they've been trucked long distances. That adds to the fuel consumption on the planet and pollution. It's pretty easy to figure out. Anyway, that's what we're doing here today. We're trying to get something that's healthy for all of us, so we're choosing organic."
