HOWEVER!!! I think the focus should also be on the ‘inner cities and rural’ places of this country. In many of these places access to fresh fruits and vegetables are almost non-existent. When they are available in these places its often in supermarkets only… and are usually badly damaged fruits and vegetables almost ‘spoiled’ I’d say.
The following 2 quotes are true from the article:
1) “A third of all families with children have income less than twice the federal poverty line, meaning that affordable family meals are in great demand”.
2) “Six out of 10 families are practicing some form of healthy eating strategy, such as eating more fruits/vegetables, whole grain, and low fat dairy; limiting fats and sugar; reducing portion sizes”.
A lot of Families of low income and even average income CANNOT afford fresh fruits and vegetables, not to mention the NON-Affordability of ‘ORGANIC’ fruits and veggies. Continue Reading »

Do you know how to measure plant quality and know when you have poor or excellent quality plants?

Refractometer
Food quality is easily determined by using a refractometer to measure the brix of plant Juices. The brix scale on a refractometer is a measure of the dissolved solids in the juice from your plant product. Most of the solids are carbohydrates in plant juices, but vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other plant produced compounds are also present in the plant juice.
The main thing you want to remember is the higher the Brix value, the higher the nutrient content in your plants, and the higher the plant quality. High Brix means high plant quality and higher mineral content. Low brix means low plant quality and lower mineral content.
We recommend this refractometer click here to test the quality of your fruit and vegetables.
