The other day, I saw a report on direct TV New York about Just Food.

For years, Just Food has been building a just and sustainable food system for New York City. They've been the leaders in connecting local farms to NYC neighborhoods and communities.

However, these days we should all watch what we eat. Even fruits and vegetables can be contaminated with pesticide, E.Coli and other harmful bacteria that will put perils to our health. We can't be too sure these days, every food in the market seems to be contaminated with something.

Anyways, just stay away from the most contaminated fruits and vegetables: peaches, strawberries, apples, nectarines, imported grapes, cherries, strawberries, pears, red raspberries, Mexican Cantaloupe and apricots.

In NYC, Just Food tackles food shortage by increasing the production, marketing and distribution of fresh food from community gardens and urban agricultural sites. In the countryside, they are addressing the rapid decline of family farms and the loss of agricultural land by linking small and medium-scale producers to new markets in New York City.
