Finally, the motivation you've been looking for to really start doing that "fruit and vegetables" thing: a new badge on Foursquare.We know, we know, you've been overlooking the health of your colon so you could be Mayor of Claudia's Chicken Shack, but now you can be rewarded for shopping at your local farmer's market.
CNN and Foursquare have joined forces for a week-long special called Eatocracy that will be running on CNN. The goal? To gently coax people in the direction of things not artery-clogging. The plan: Anyone who checks in at a farmer's market will unlock a special "Healthy Eater" badge. How's that for an excuse to buy vegetables?
Ha ha, and before you're all, "Lame, a Healthy Eater badge? What am I, an Eagle Scout?" there are benefits. Flashing your badge at a farmer's market could land you a discount or a present, and who doesn't love presents? Seriously. It'll be like every time you go shopping is Christmas (minus the gravy).
