Fruits and Vegetables made easier

A giant trend in teh produce deptartment is to try to make the food easier to eat. For instance, few now buy heads of lettuce when they can buy premade salads. Similarly, fruit companies are now trying to get in on the act:

"Sunkist's Fun Fruits are sliced oranges, apples or pineapples, or red grapes with no stems, available in half-cup serving packages that have pictures of kids on them. The products will be in supermarkets this year; Sunkist is working on a version for grown-ups."

We have a long ways to go however, as few Americans are eating enough fruits and vegetables!

Stores Use Fresh Produce to Lure Shoppers - Yahoo! News: "Consumer research shows that the average person eats 1.8 cups of fruits and vegetables a day, according to the nonprofit Produce for Better Health Foundation. That total is less than half the amount recommended in the government's new food pyramid, which says the average person should consume about 5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day"
