" Researchers have pointed out that if Americans actually followed the US dietary guidelines and started to eat the volume and variety of produce health officials recommend, we wouldn’t have nearly enough to meet consumer demand."

Compare any American super market's fruit and veggie section to one in Canada, or EU, and this is obviously true. Even Whole Foods' is pathetically small[1].

Seeing how little space there is for F&V, if you imagine doubling the space, the production problem is quite apparent.

[1]In Canada, the nearest supermarket to my folks' uses half it's floor space on vegetables and fruits. Grown in California, of course.

Forget the workers, you need to juice about 11 oranges a minute (4 oranges/glass)[1]. I'd guess that'd take 20 workers working with electric juicers.

Instead buy a dozen automatic juicers and charge the client to buy new ones.

[1]The juice in an orange is highly variable by season, producer, ect. Just add it to the bill.
