Downsizing veggies

At the local Hannaford's on Sat., I noticed something that may be a renewal of a long term trend toward baby vegetables.  One repacker was offering baby collard greens, and another a 6 pack of baby cukes.  The collard greens offering seems an attempt at upscaling a long time southern favorite to trendy northern tastes.  The cukes may be more appealing to mothers who want to supply something healthy in their kids' lunch boxes.  Either way, it looks like the downsizing of veggies will continue.  I can hardly wait for micro cauliflower and individual serving butternut squash.  It's a brave new world.
