What is Life Without Whole Food?
Friday, December 29, 2006
As I was waiting in line, humming "Brian Boru's March" and waiting for my "Ordinario" sandwich (roast turkey, lettuce, tomato, cucumber (no cheese) on marble rye) the other day, I thought, "Why not review Whole Foods Market? I'm here almost every day." And so . . .
Whole Foods IS a pleasant and very convenient shopping experience - although more expensive than your average market. It is an organic/natural foods/gourmet market which meets almost every shopping need. The take-out service is pretty fast - but better yet - the self service check-out lines are the best I have encountered at any shopping facility, almost never break down (as long as I am using a debt card) & I am in and out very quickly. I trust the food I buy here & I feel I can safely eat here without getting sick. I frequent the fresh fruits & vegetables and salad and soup {Mediterranean Chicken is my favorite) bars.
My weekly need for fresh cut flowers is met here as well as my desire to look at Earth Shoes (they sell the new Earth Shoe), buy ear plugs, purchase vitamins, minerals and supplements, Bach flower remedies, Republic of Tea teas + freshly delivered (if not baked) Irish Soda bread. And, it is all within walking distance from my house or a short driving distance from my work.
I am very spoiled, very rarely shop at other markets for edible products (except Trader Joe's) since discovering Whole Foods and when I am on vacation or away from home, I find myself trying to locate the nearest Whole Foods Market to me. For, what is life without whole food?
