Not a minute too soon.

Much more on the technology here.

Laser labeling has the potential to identify individual items down to the level of the farm they were grown on, which could be a boon to artisanal producers.

They say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away,
but many of us still don't eat them. That doesn't mean
we shouldn't be eating them, however. Pound for pound,
fruits are among the healthiest foods a person can consume,
offering numerous benefits (from antioxidants to vitamin C
to potassium to fiber) in huge quantities that other foods don't come close to.
But which fruits offer which specific health benefits?

Why can't we just buy local and trust our sellers to tell us where the stuff comes from and how old it is.
