Zooey explained that during her pregnancy, she really started thinking about healthy eating.

“I started looking at everything I ate and found it difficult to find information,” the mother-of-two explained. “And I also found it difficult to obtain. It was expensive, you had to make an effort, it wasn’t convenient.’

The Elf actress said she started a company Lettuce Grow to help people grow their own food indoors, but it only covered about 20 percent of what people eat. Merryfield was founded to help people choose healthy options for the other 80 percent.
