I am not gaga about organic. If past blogs are any indication I think I will stick to what sticks .. to my gut that is. I am not entirely sure how the organic food movement got started (using 'movement' is actually comical when food is involved in the same sentence) but it surely has a lot of followers.
Among the grocers that stock their shelves with this biodegradable mass (as compared to other grocers that sell all the inorganic stuff) there are some with quirky names like 'Whole Foods'. I mean what is the Whole story here? Am I for one eating partial foods? I would much rather eat a bunch of partials to make up my meal than a whole of something. Wouldn't you agree? I mean it should get pretty boring with the whole idea of getting a whole meal or else?
I am not even sure that is the whole truth. I mean with prices that are substantially higher than the non Whole variety I am not sure if the whole paycheck will last to get the whole thing home.
Then there is the questionable design of their parking lots. They seem to be designed for folks to come on a bicycle and if not you end up taking more than one stall. I don't drive an army surplus vehicle or one of those utilities titled after the great American Mountains (e.g. Yukon and Denali) but a smallish sedan and still have to worry about my side mirrors (yes I use those things) not taking out somebody else's.
So while not adopting a 'Holier than Thou' attitude I think there is quite a LOT to be deisred from a less than WHOLEsome experience!
I like chocolates. Godiva Dark with Almonds - not sure of the naked woman on the horse to be the icon of some choice cocoa based products but tastes good. Started in Belgium but now owned by some Turks. Cadburys - Fruit and Nut Milk Bars - awesome combination of dried fruit pieces along with a medley of nuts makes your toungue dance - started by a Brit now owen by Kraft USA. Lindt Hazelnut spheres - made by a Swiss confectioner are divine balls that melt in your mouth with a lingering nutty taste Ghirardelli Milk Crisp Squares - crunchy and light these milk squares are easy on the palate but pack some serious calories - all good I say! Originally founded by an Italian who moved around till he landed in SF Bay today also owned by the Swiss Lindt empire.
The whole thing is that ke bhaiya sabse bada rupiah..someone's making a whole lot more, no?
