In this episode...

Although there has been a lot of movement in the fresh produce industry in recent years, many people don't eat as many fruits and vegetables as they should. There are many processed foods in the market that claim to be plant-based, but in reality, only contain a small amount of healthy food. 

Despite all of this, there has been considerable growth in the distribution and consumption of fresh produce in the country. The government has also been playing an active role in supporting the consumption of fruits and vegetables in the school system, providing free meals to kids, and developing agricultural policies that support healthy eating. 

In this week's episode of the NexxtLevel Brands Podcast, Steve Cleere is joined by Lori Taylor, the Founder and CEO of The Produce Moms, to discuss fresh produce consumption in the US. They talk about The Produce Moms' mission of creating more awareness around fresh foods and supporting healthy living, the growth of lifestyle diets, flexitarian diets, and plant-based foods, and labor concerns in the fresh produce industry.
