REFLECTION QUESTIONBasic Needs & SecurityWhat surprised you about the two produce lists? How will you use these lists for your grocery shopping? Have you used these lists before?
Liz Díaz 4/28/2022 9:36 PMI was surprised by the 1st and 2nd place of the dirty dozen list becase I use to consume a lot of strawberries and spinachs. The good news is, when I buy berries, it is from local and small producers of a region very close to my city and are supposedly organic. Actually, they don´t sell them packed in single use plastic containers, but in a 1lt container that can be reused many times at home.
I will definetely have the lists in mind when grocery shopping. -
