Shopping for Healthy Food
and Good Products:
Where does your food come from?
How fresh is it?
Is it whole, unprocessed, real, and organically grown?
And if you are conscious about that,
- what do you then put on your skin. Or in your house?

We like shopping at Wholefoods — and getting lunch there is pretty healthy too. In New York City, Union Square farmers' market is great and on several days a week. Just note that even if it is a farmers market it is not always organic produce and some of the breads/cake does contain refined sugar. However, it is local and therefore more fresh than produce coming from far away. It is also good to support local farmers and help sustain smaller growers and food resources. You can find a local here farmer's market.

Your local health food store is normally a great resource too.
