Quality of Produce (or lack thereof)
It bugs me when…..
Supermarkets and green grocers advertise “Fresh Produce”….I’m sorry but it’s been many years since I’ve seen “fresh produce” in our local stores…..I remember when I was a wee tacker and I used to go grocery shopping with Mum, the fruit and vegies we’d buy would last in the fridge for anywhere from 2 – 6 weeks. The only thing I can buy that would last that long now is onions. Everything else I buy, I’m lucky if it keeps for 1-2 weeks. It’s been a thorn in my side for years, but what can I do about it? I’ve tried boycotting certain stores that refuse to sell fresh foods, but that doesn’t work, because we need a great volume of people in the community to do the same to make any sort of difference.
I think I’m going to have to drag my butt out of bed early on Saturday mornings and try out the Saturday Fresh Market at Brisbane Marketplace….hopefully the produce will be fresher, cheaper and more of the profits will go directly to the farmers….

Mum, Dad, Nat & Jason go there all the time the reckon it’s way cheaper and much nicer produce. They actually take one of those Nanna trolleys with them cause you just walk around for ages looking at stuff.
