The sad part is, if the vegetables look too pristine, they've probably been pesticided to death => not healthy to eat (too much, anyway).

This also explains why organic veggies look like they've been chewed on by caterpillars etc.

As for me, I choose "springy" veggies, not "limp" ones.

If you go to a wet market, buying fresh fish and chicken isn't too difficult. Buying at a supermarket, though, is tougher, since everything is normally cling wrapped so you can't really smell nor touch.
