Shopping carts clang.
Magic doors whiz open and shut.
Colors glow under bright white lights.
So many breakfasts, lunches, and dinners!
It’s all at a special, necessary, very real place:
the supermarket.The doors don't really open by magic. When an
electronic “eye” overhead “sees” you coming, it
- starts a motor to open the doors.
The supermarket is a whole world of its own.
Where does all this crunchy, munchy, sweet,
sour, fiery, frozen, fabulous food come from?

It all begins on farms. Our food comes from
places with lots of sunshine, rich soil, and clean water.
Farmers make decisions every day during the long
months of growing.
242At harvesttime, workers pick the fruits and
J vegetables. They pack everything neatly in boxes
> and load the boxes onto trucks.
Picking fruits and vegetables can
be painful, low-paying work.
Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) became
ahero for workers when he founded
the National Farm Workers of America.Small trucks, big trucks, gigantic trucks —
all rev up their engines.
Every night, drivers take off from farms or warehouses.

@ Interview someone who works at a
supermarket to find out how one of
your favorite foods gets to the store.
@ Make It Relevant What are some
of the foods your family buys?
