Heath food stores!!!

               I love health food stores. It is so fun going to health food stores because you know that pretty much everything in the store is so much better for your body because everything is organic, and most everything is lower in calories, fat and carbs. I feel like it would be better to have more heath stores because there doesn’t seem to be too many around, especially where I live.

Some health food stores even have a restaurant part were you can get sandwiches with meat that contain no hormones and were butchered locally and not at factory farms. There are also heather choices in the bakery because they use ingredients that are not only organic but also whole wheat and locally grown as well. Most health food stores also have a section of dried fruit and nuts; all of the nuts are raw so they are better for you because there is no added sugar or spices that they have when they are roasted. All of the dried fruit is made from organic fruit and most of the dried fruit has no added sugar so it is all natural as well. One of the health food stores I really enjoy is called “pioneer food co-op” it has trash cans that are labeled “compost, metal and plastic” so that when you are done eating you will properly dispose of your food and eating utensils. It’s awesome because it forces you to use it because it is there, so you might as well use it. If all restaurants had this the earth would be so much cleaner and have so much less trash in the landfills.

               The heath stores are not only all about making you a heather person, but they also strive for a heather planet. A lot of the packaging is biodegradable and as I mentioned before they are very big on recycling. Another interesting part of health food stores are that on their restaurant section the food that is displayed in the cases lists every ingredient along with bolded ingredients that people may be allergic to so that you will know if you shouldn’t eat it. I think this was done because some people with a lot of allergies can eat only very specific foods and that’s why heath food markets are good because they know exactly what they are putting into their bodies. The food sold at these stores is so great because you aren’t questioning what you are putting in your body because most everything is natural and good for you. It’s awesome knowing that you aren’t harming your body, even when the food still tastes so good! (442)
