\"Keep<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t you just love it when fruit looks so good and juicy?  I have bought fruit many times on a whim because it looks so scrumptious.  I take it home, put it on the counter or in the refrigerator…and then life happens.  <\/p>\n

I’m off to baseball tryouts, volleyball practice, Family Fun night at the school, an awards assembly.  By the time the weekend comes and I remember I bought fresh delicious fruit, it has become mushy and a detectable darker shade of its former self.  Ugh.<\/p>\n

I have seen those fresh bags at the grocery store – you know, the ones that you’re supposed to put your fruit in and the bag helps keep it fresher?  Well, I’m not sure if they work, they’ve been sitting at the bottom of my fruit and vegetable drawer in my fridge for several years now.  They are just not at the top of my mind.<\/p>\n

Do You Waste Food?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you waste food, you’re not alone.  Every year, we throw away nearly 30% of the food we have<\/strong>.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

I<\/strong>f collected up, there would be enough food to feed up to 2 billion people for a year!<\/strong>  OK, now I feel really guilty.  I have good intentions but often times reality doesn’t intersect with them.<\/p>\n

 While doing some research online, I recently came across a product I’m very excited to tell you about.  It’s called Vacuvita<\/a>.  <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

Vacuvita is a food storage system that helps you to vacuum pack your food, offering a shelf life of up to 5 times.<\/strong>  Vacuvita helps you waste less food and keeps it fresh longer.<\/p>\n
