Another advantage of growing your own veggies is you know exactly what chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) your plants were exposed to. Also you can build up the micronutrients in your garden's soil so the veggies growing in them will be nutrient dense. Most store bought veggies are grown in soils that haven't seen anything except NPK synthetic fertilizers since the 1940's and modern veggies have been documented by the USDA to be much lower in vitamins, etc. than similar veggies grown in the 1950's.
