However, I have been buying fruits and vegetables from the farmers at my local farmer's market. It's important for us to support the growers in our community. I think this is an excellent idea.

Even though there will be confusion about processed and mixed foods, I think it puts us one step closer to bringing another level of awareness to the general public.
