Farmers in California have begun slathering fruit and vegetables with sunscreen after discovering that it is not just people who can suffer adverse effects from the sun's rays.I have found the link!!!!!!http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/2481695/US-farmers-put-sunscreen-on-their-fruit.html

    It makes sense really, they want their crops to be the best quality then why not protect them? It's not like you can't wash off the sunscreen, you have to wash the fruits anyways to be sold, and you should always wash them at home to.
