                                                                                                                                     vocal
               Another shopper, Heidi Ames, was more vocal about



         eating locally grown organic fruits. “Fruit grows in dirt or on



         trees, which is as natural as it gets. Supermarkets kill the



         freshness when they wrap fruit in plastic. I would never eat



                                                              adj. containing poison
         fruit sprayed with poisonous chemicals. I don’t care how
                                                              poisonous


         bright the colors are or how big the fruit is. Who wants to



                   adj. different from others of the same kind because of a genetic change
                    mutant
         eat mutant strawberries the size of my fist anyway?”
