The Bite:
imageGetting fresh at checkout? We might have to slap the produce at Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market, since its fruits and veggies are packed, date-coded, and delivered to stores daily (from local farms whenever possible). It has options that you've come to expect like organic foods, cage-free eggs, and hormone-free meats, plus to-go gems such as organic lemonade and caprese sandwiches on ciabatta. These LEED-certified buildings are popping up from Long Beach to Eagle Rock - eight and counting - and incorporate natural lighting, second-loop refrigeration (which captures and reuses cool air), and VIP parking (front row) for hybrids - all fresh ideas.
Wanna Try: 
Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Markets, 7021 Hollywood Blvd. b/t Sycamore Ave. and Orange Dr., H'wood (323-466-0097). Large organic lemonade, $4.

Cocktail Fact

Each year, nearly 2 mil shopping carts are stolen from stores nationwide.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters eat one locally produced piece of fruit instead of a nonlocal one, we'll save enough gas to fill the tanks of 50 hybrid cars.
