| - I believe the proper name is "Healthy Habit." That's what their sign and website say.
How to be balanced without being scathing. Hmmm ... not sure I can ... This place is a money trap for hypochondriacs, histrionics, and the hype addicted. I am a supporter of crunchier lifestyles, but this place points out what's wrong in Granolatown.
I feel sad when I hear an anxious woman talking to a clerk about how the last two $100+ remedies she purchased didn't work, and can they recommend anything else? I get pissed when I see that this store's prices are oddly nearly the same as Vitamin Shoppe's, item-for-item, which is to say, full retail, and I know many of these items are available online for as little as half the price. It's like the Twenty Dollar Store in here. This stuff doesn't need to be this expensive; there is no justification other than greed preying upon desperation, ignorance and vanity.
I am disgusted when I see tremendously marked up goods and foodstuffs, like $30 pints of coconut oil, marked up because coconut oil is popular right now, and some suckers think, "If it costs more, it must be better, right?" The one thing preventing people from adoping healthier foods and the use of effective supplements is this pervasive greed and hype that permeates the industry, and today it was in full view at Healthy Habit(s).
