Whole Foods…

Submitted by byjane on Tuesday, 20 June 20064 Comments

All of my pondering and querying and cveching about the ubiquity of my depression has now been resolved.  In an instant.  Almost.

Yesterday I had lunch at Whole Foods.  It was the first time I have been in a Whole Foods since I left LA.  Whole Foods was my store in LA.  I would wander it’s big aisles, the 400-plus cheese department, the three different varieties of free-range chicken (Rocky, Rocky Jr., and Rosie!), the multiplicity of salads, of dressings, of breads, of beautiful organic vegetables, of food food glorious food–and I would feel happy, positive even, in an all’s right with the world sort of way.  

Yesterday, that feeling came over me again and I realized that I’ve missed Whole Foods.  My local coop won’t cut it.  Trader Joe’s tries, but their produce is crummy.  Only Whole Foods, the now live-lobster-free Whole Foods can keep me on an even keel.  This is good to know.

    Whole Foods

    Does this mean you hit the one out at Arden & Eastern?
    Or were you in L.A.?

    Good to know!

    Now I just hope you actually HAVE a Whole Foods in your home area so you can seek resolution. Me? Closest thing I have is the Boise Co-Op, and that’s 60 miles away!

    Great. Now *I* am in a funk. I don’t even have a Trader Joes!

    400 plus types of cheese? Oh fer YUM. So there you go… stock up on wholesome fresh good foods and enjoy regaining your zest for life!

    You haven’t been to a Whole Foods for EIGHT MONTHS?

    No wonder you were depressed. Vitamin-deficient, even.

    Surely there must be decent farmer’s markets around there, though.
