I was eating WHAT from Whole Foods???!!!

Don't go to Vitamin Cottage if you are alread sqeemish about chemicals in food. What you will find out (whether you want to or not) is that they won't sell most of what the other grocers tell is you is "good" for you, because it really isn't. Whole Foods will never feel as groovy again after someone here tells you what WF puts in their salads and deli items to keep it "fresh". These guys seem to really trod the straight and narrow (dogmatic?) when it comes to the clean food movement. Still, they had what I needed plus a ton of new things I had never seenin an organic version. I also left with a handful of (free) nutrition sheets the staff gave out when I asked some questions. Cheap? I could get the same stuff in non-organic for less at the other stores, but for the identical items they seem like their prices are far below Kings. Compared to Whole Foods its like, uh, free. They are not too convenient to my house, but I will try to drop in whenever I see one.

• Pros: saves time not having to read labels
• Cons: favorite junk food gone missing
