Thought for the Day: Always buy fruit when grocery shopping

When you go grocery shopping, do you mainly buy frozen and processed foods? While I've studied the effects of modern (western) nutrition on various types of cancer, I'm a big believer in consuming fresh fruits every day just based on all the cancer-fighting nutrients many fruits possess inside. Plus, fruits taste so darn good.
Think about this:
Resveratrol (in grapes) and vitamins and minerals (in most fruits) are great for human health and from an antioxidant perspective, they assist in getting certain potential maladies wiped out inside the body -- before cancer can get a grip.Although vegetables are every bit as good as fruits from this point of view, many people are not heavy vegetable eaters due to the lack of taste. One thing is for sure, though: there is rarely a lack of taste from almost every fruit I can think of. The best way to eat those fruits? Raw or after having been blended (as a smoothie).
