I love me some produce. The best way I think that anyone can stay healthy is to eat lots of fresh foods. I heard a commentator on NPR talk about only eating food that rots. Not rotten food, thats a whole different diet, but fresh foods with no preservatives. I recently also heard someone of the radio talking about the French and how they eat fatty foods, smoke, and drink and live way longer then out very own diet crazed country. Anyways, I think the best way to get fresh produce is in preplanned boxes. I found the one above for Denver but I know there is several similar options in Chicago.
There are a bunch of great things about boxes. Usually the companies that put them together tend to support organic and local items as much as possible. And when you support local you tend to get seasonal items as well. The produce tends to be fresher, the box service I belonged to in Chicago guaranteed picked in the last 24hrs. It is also less wasteful. Just think of all the produce that goes to waste at a normal grocery store. Farms can sell everything they grow and make sure all of it ends up in somebodies kitchen.
I will say that getting all of that produce means that you have to find time to cook again. If you can’t find time to cook, then you can’t find time to live. Let’s not forget how important food is to our happiness. As always, you are what you eat.

you inspired me to sign up… I’m so excited! I’ve always wanted to look into organic produce delivery - I’ll let you know what I think once I get my bitty box.
