Do they even have a Whole Foods Market in your neck of the woods?
It looks like it's a pretty long bus trip to get to Princeton, Red Bank or
Marlton, New Jersey, where the Whole Foods Markets are located.
Go figure.
Whole Foods Market
3495 US Route 1 South
Princeton New Jersey 08540.
United States
Whole Foods Market
471 State Route 35 North
Red Bank New Jersey 07701-5036.
United States
Whole Foods Market.
940 Route 73 North
Marlton New Jersey 08053.
United States
I concur with all this (except that I'm not much for "alternative
remedies"--don't need them, I just try to eat right).
And Whole Foods is known as Whole Paycheck in this neck of the
woods.

Hate to rain on your parade but US supermarkets have had organic
sections for ages. And yup, sometimes the products are the same
price as the regular products and even sometimes less, especially
when it comes to produce. Lately I was looking at prices of
lettuce. I like green leaf lettuce on sandwiches (so do
restaurants). The price for a head in the regular section was $2
in the organic $2. However I buy most of my produce at the local
farmer's market.
We call Whole Foods "whole wallet" around here. They're a bit
out of the way for me so haven't been to one in ages. BTW, the
new health fad is gluten-free and those kind of products are
showing up even in the mainstream supermarkets.
And many here are now old farts and once you hit your sixties the
old jalopy stops working so well. So it's not a bad idea to be
particular about diet and trying some of the alternative remedies
though many of us have been using them for years. Our bodies are
just like cars. You can change the oil and keep up maintenance on
it and it'll run just fine for miles and miles. Or just let it
run down and fall apart. You can go shopping for a new one
after you die. :-D

Very funny article, one made more poignant by living in
France and
the Netherlands, where "Bio" (Organic) foods are found in almost
every supermarket, and at prices not much higher than "lesser"
produce. There are fewer "craze foods," and there are FAR fewer
crazies buying them. Here, you eat to live (and eat *well*); you
don't live to eat.

Amidst the humor, the author makes some good points. For
example,
"Ever notice that you don't meet poor people with special
diet needs?"
Similarly, have you ever noticed that people whose spiritual
paths
are actually *working* for them don't spend most of their
time obses-
sing on their health and what they eat and the esoteric
snake oil
healings they *need* to stay healthy? What's wrong with TM
that so
many of its followers obsess on these things so consistently?
Posted even though I know from experience that it'll
probably take
anywhere from two hours to two days to appear. I suspect Yahoo's
server personnel are drinking too much kombuchka (Japanese for
'I gizzed in your tea'). :-)
