Whole Foods is good in terms of healthy food but I think that the neighborhood grocery store has an assortment of healthy foods (fruits, veggies and whole grains) that don't cost what the Whole Foods products cost. Many cannot afford that stuff but can still eat healthy.
On another note, my mom was telling me that there was some kind of study that found that when AAs when to the store, we go to the carbs and the meat and call it a day. What we *should* do is start shopping right when we walk through the door of the grocery store...in the fruit and vegetable department! AA children really don't eat enough fruit and vegetable.
Don't even get me started on the exercise that these kids are not getting.

Hi everyone,
I just recently (about 6 months ago) visited a health food store "Whole Foods" and I was completely amazed by the size, prices, and quality of food. Needless to say that I'm hooked I love the idea of eating chicken that hasn't been injected with all sorts of antibiotics, beef and seafood that’s fresh, homemade sausages, the hot bar, and the ready made food deli. I must admit perceptions of healthy food being nasty aren’t the case when it comes to this store. Has anyone been to Whole Foods if not, find the nearest one!! If so, how was your experience and what would you recommend?
On another note I was talking with an friend of mine that is into the whole tofu craze.. if anyone has tried tofu and liked it let me know?
P.S. I just notice my misspelled fields....please forgive my carelessness.
