Organic Food Market: A Great Way To Do Your Shopping Holistically

Going to the supermarket is difficult for those looking for greener shopping, because there is so much out there, that reports to be healthy and greener, and leaves much to be desired. Going to an organic food market is a great, one-stop way for a consumer to be ensured that whatever he is looking at is safe, organically-produced and safe for the environment. An organic food market is slightly more expensive, and is usually located in higher-end neighborhoods (where yuppies reside), but being healthy and environmentally sound is not just for the well-off, and if one cares about eating healthy, going to an organic food market is a great alternative to the usual grocery store.

Whole Foods: The Standard Bearer Of The Organic Food Market

Started in 1978 by John Mackey in Austin Texas, Whole Foods Market is one of the most recognizable organic food markets (if not the most recognizable organic food market) in North America. Located throughout the United States of America, there are also Whole Food Markets in Canada, as well as a future location in the United Kingdom in 2007.

The great thing about the Whole Foods Market is that it acts like a regular supermarket, and is able to “mainstream” organic food at a relatively low cost. As opposed to privately owned organic food markets, Whole Foods’ produce is seemingly affordable, and may can afford to visit and actually buy food from this organic food market. Also, Whole Foods is expanding, which will probably lead to easier locations and even more affordable prices.

Whole Foods Might Not Just Be An Organic Food Market, But Just Simply A Market

The path of Whole Foods makes it seem like it will become a super-store in much the same way Meijer, Jewel or Dominic’s are. The ability to go to an organic food market by default and not because of a conscientious effort is just another virtue of an expanding Whole Foods Market business. While, purists are still quibbling about the minute details of Whole Foods’ claims of organic food (as well as other environmental issues like animal rights and global concerns), the idea of having a Whole Foods take place of a standard supermarket is appealing because of its mission to bring organic food to the everyday shopper.
