| - I mainly shop here because I am lazy. What? Yeah, you read that right. I have so many self-improvement resolutions that I usually end up falling short on because I don't put in the effort it takes to accomplish them. I want to eat healthy, support local farmers, be more environmentally conscious, support humane meat producers, and buy fair trade imports. But doing all the research on products and brands and then running around to different stores and farmers markets to purchase them week after week is exhausting. Then one day I realized that all I really have to do is just start shopping at Whole Foods and I can accomplish all of those goals in one stop. Some of their items are a little pricey, sure but when you really compare apples to apples they are surprisingly affordable. Check out the price of humanely raised grass fed beef where you shop and then compare it to Whole Foods and you will see what I mean. Sure, its more pricey than the basic ground beef you get at the butcher counter but that's because it is a different product that costs more, not because there is a huge mark-up at Whole Foods. Anyway, it is time for me to put my money where my mouth is, I guess, if I am really committed to the things I say I support. So, five stars for Whole Foods!
