The Central Wholesale Produce Market | LA Foodways | KCET

The Central Wholesale Produce Market: Founded in 1898. A century old Los Angeles institution, the Whole Produce Market, was created to help the farmers get their produce to market and still thrives today. Today, the market responds to the food crisis by contributing food that would otherwise be thrown into landfill.

Fresh herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides are being thrown away as well. Those chemicals are needed to help wipe out the microflora in peoples guts.
