Whole Foods Market
Various locations; www.wholefoodsmarket.com

If you value your health and well-being and are choosy about the ingredients in your home-cooked meals, then you probably already shop at Whole Foods. If not, may we suggest you start by going to the prepared-food section and ordering a take-home ration of a tender chicken breast roasted in a spicy citrus sauce? Or perhaps the Mexican-style tortilla soup or any of the salmon fillet entrées? If none of that brings you back for more, then you're probably hopeless. Shoppers who come back also return for the organic produce; the self-serve selection of grains, dried fruits and nuts; the olive, salad and juice bars; the hormone-free meat and chicken; the fresh fish; the wines, cheeses and chocolates; the vitamin-rich fruit juices; and the assortment of canned goods, cooking broths and jarred sauces. Whole Foods also provides the sense of shopping among people who live to eat rather than merely eating to live.
