Homegrown fruits, veggies

Children who regularly eat homegrown fruits and vegetables eat more than twice as much of those healthy foods than kids who seldom get fresh produce on their plates, report researchers at St. Louis University. The team found that children who grow up eating homegrown produce prefer the taste of fruits and vegetables to other foods. Researchers see this as an avenue to increase intake of the vital foods.

Steve - homegrown translates to CSA's, farmers markets, or grow-it-yourself!
