Thirteen dollars


What can you buy for $13?

At the Finley Farms stall at the Hollywood Farmers Market last week, I bought 2 romaine lettuces, collard greens, cilantro, a bulb of fennel with leaves attached, a bag of malabar spinach, and a bunch of dandelion greens.

The amount of bio-available nutrition in this pile of organic greens cannot fit into a bottle of vitamin pills. And if it could, it would cost far more than $13.

Food. Good for you, good for your wallet.
