For some years now, I have been exploring the question: How do you eat for health in the Valley?

You can eat healthy food in the Fresno/Clovis area and it is easier than you think.

In the mid-1960s, as the family farm became less and less profitable, the stores stopped staying open late and many closed or left town. Now the tide has turned.
