Eating by Example encourages industry members to pledge to do just that – eat by example, and it’s easy to sign on. Visit www.pma.com/eatingbyexample and add your name and company. No registration fees or check-ins! 

“We all know how wonderful produce is: Its diverse flavors, exciting applications, and fun colors make it unique. As produce people we are fortunate to work with it for a living. And as such, we lead the charge to make sure everybody enjoys great tasting fruit and veggies every single day,” PMA shared on its website. “We propose an important part of increasing produce consumption is leading – in this case eating – by example! We have the opportunity and the power to show everybody how it’s done. So let us all, as produce businesses, come together and lead the way.”

PMA wants to show everyone that this industry walks its talk. Share the message using #EatingByExample in your social media feeds.
