On reading "The rise of the ready meal" and how they are still popular even if there is enough time to cook, brings me to this point. I grow fresh organic fruit and vegetables and sell them at local farmers markets in the USA. I found out when I first started that a lot of people did not know what I was selling or if they did know, did not know how to use it or knew only one recipe for it.
