• Buying green produce with Marion Nestle - "This week on TreeHuggerTV we are back in the supermarket shopping with nutriton expert Marion Nestle. This week we're in the fruit and veg aisle and Marion is lamenting the fact that lack of labelling means we can't tell where the apples come from. This is especially frustrating when they are out of season because we can't tell how far round the world they've travelled. Come help us carry the shopping basket and learn more about the pros and cons of selecting organic fruit and vegetables in the supermarket. " -  Treehugger.com
