FindGoodFood allows anyone to find, buy, sell, share, swop 'good' food, however they defined 'good' food.  Some 20 choices offered. We encouraged people (consumers, farmers, growers, producers, etc) to aim for chem-free, nutrient-dense produce as it was better food value for money, not only just more delicious and nutritious.   
Temporarily stopped due to ill-health, will launch once we have developed a low-cost food scanner for consumers to quickly pick the most delicious, nutritious produce as they walk down the food aisles.

FindGoodFood will be revived as part of My-Communites, focused on good food = good health, and "Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food" Hippocrates, Founder of Modern Western Medicines..
