Living in Mexico, we would go to the mercado for all our fruits and vegetables. I can assure you, no one was wearing a hairnet...in fact, people would sample fruits and there were plenty of flies around. Yes, the fruits and vegetables probably turn a little quicker but that is the price you pay for fresh and ripe produce with little interference from pesticides and keeping in the fridge. Never did get sick from any of it. So I shall be a major consumer from the Brownwood farmer's market.
