I want my children eating healthy fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and fish, but the costs keep getting higher and higher that it is harder everyday to cook healthy meals. To help I have turned my garden into a vegetable garden but that isn't the solution for all of us.

Fruit and Veg. is sometimes several days old when it hits the supermarket shelves as some growers have the ability to put hte produce in cool rooms for a few days until taken to market or sold to supermarkets. A few years ago a relative of mine who was a truck driver took peas and other vegetables to a frozen food processor less than an hours drive away. When he got there he was asked if he knew if there was more crop being picked and loaded onto another truck as they were going to process them the same day. Some places snap freeze then by steaming them, admittedly in bulk -- not by blanching them directly in water which removes a fair amount of nutriment. In actual fact they have often have a lot more than those which have been stored in cool rooms. Some growers and store some types of Veg in coll rooms for several weeks. A lady I used to work for actually saw pumpkins in a cool room on racks that had been there for over 4 months.
