It is my observation that the people working in organic groceries
are the sickliest looking specimens around. Eat a T-bone once in
a while you anemic, depressing zealots. Get next to a bar of
soap.

you are confusing organic with vegan, i suppose. there may be a
slight overlap, but most vegans i know eat prepared foods that aren't
necessarily organic. i don't actually know many vegans that can cook
from scratch (just like i don't know many people who aren't dependent
on prepared foods now-a-days).
i'm neither vegan or vegetarian, yet i grow, purchase & prepare
mostly organic foods, including meats.
oh, and there's also soap made from organic sourced ingredients...
which is a bit of a long winded way to say "your ignorance is

Hmmm ....

I m going to defend the original poster, too a limit.

I have also felt the same way. Some of the unhealthiest people I have
ever seen was at a health food store ( myself excluded . There are
people that have better genetics than others. There are people that seem
to consume nothing but junk food and thrive and look healthy as can be.

Some people are more sensitive to certain foods than others. Wheat and
gluten products causes gas and fatigue for me. I have tested negative
for celiac (Endoscopy and Biopsy) and wheat allergies. However I still
ovoid those food substances for their negative affects to me. The health
food store has the rice and other flours that regular stores do not have.

If you are healthy from the beginning. Why enter a health food store?

If your unhealthy and traditional medicine has failed you, try
alternative methods. The health food stores are best places to try
something different.

Unlike the original poster suggest, I am not a vegetarian. The health
food store has products I have not yet learn to make myself. Like
growing my own rice and corn for grinding my own flours. Someday I will
give it a try.

Where wheat products bother me. Other people might have bad reactions to
meat products and a vegetarian diet might be best for them physically or
mentally (death of animals bother them). I raise my own chickens (taste
better). Again the organic heath food store is a good place to be for
those who need alternatives. The organic health food store I go to, also
sells grass fed only T-bone steaks as well as skin sensitive soaps.
