There are so many benefits to eating your fruits & veggies: higher antioxidants, more fiber, lowered risk of disease, fewer caloric intake. Pollan argues that most plant foods are less "energy dense" than other things we eat, and it's probably true, especially if you are eating more locally.
If you have ever eaten greens fresh out of your CSA box or from the farmer's market or your garden, it's amazing how much better they taste. The texture is more delicate, they are almost buttery. Try it this summer. I almost hate to put dressing on the greens, they taste THAT good!
I just can't wait for farmer's market season to start up again in Chicago...who's with me?
