» Much food looks more attractive and interesting when seen where it is produced. For example, when you see strawberries in their punnets at the supermarket you can find the sight so ordinary that you hardly give them a second glance. But if you were to see the same strawberries being gathered in the field where they were grown, they would evoke a very different feeling.

Unless you really hated strawberries, seeing where they came from and what they looked like when freshly picked would make them look more attractive and interesting than usual.
