I was making a joke one day. My friend was looking for something she knew was sold in a 'health-food' store. We could not find the store due to local retail store sign restrictions in this particular burg.
So I said, "Look for the most unhealthy, emaciated looking person on the street."
She did, and immediately found the store. m/r
The American Spectator : The Whole Foods Hustle
DANIEL J. FLYNN on 9.7.12
Free-ranging chicken McNuggets will keep you healthy and solvent, assuming you widen your appreciation of genuine organic food.
There is no discernible nutritional difference between food from the farmer's market and food from the supermarket, scientists report. But there is a dramatic price variation, and that status separation was the point all along.
People don't pay for better-for-you. They pay for better-than-you.
The study, released earlier this week by medical researchers at Stanford University and the Palo Alto VA, found essentially the same protein, vitamin, and fat content between organic and standard store-bought food. Normal food did exhibit slightly higher pesticide residues, which is another way of saying bugs ate your organic food before you did.
It may be best to refrain from sharing this health news with people who tend to be evangelical regarding their dietary beliefs. The crowd at Whole Foods can be downright preachy. America's leading advice columnists surely have a bead on emerging forms of table snobbery, which have shifted from the proper placement of utensils to the farming techniques used to raise consumables.
