Those are delicious. Most Amy's products are delicious but expensive. Trader Joe's and Whole Foods have their own versions of those burritos for much cheaper.
I kinda stopped going to my Trader Joe's.

I can only really go on the weekend and the lines are ridiculous cause there's like only two on Long Island

Anybody else addicted to Clif bars? I was at the store and some flavors I hadn't seen before, had to cop.

Don't hate on the Falafel either.

Rice milk is pretty great, you can use it in milkshakes/smoothies and basically not tell the difference. As far as the ice cream, I dont know.

Penn Jillette is bull poop artist himself.

And this is coming from a fan of him and his show.
 
Rice Dream is delicious, especially in Vanilla. The consistency is like water so some people have trouble switching from cow's milk to the rice. TheRice Dream ice cream I hear is terrible. Someone used that on Top Chef and got eliminated because of that (it was that horrible).

. mix some truth with the most ridiculous examples you can find, and make some money. it's the same deal as the borat movie where dude went tothe places most likely to be some sort of extreme. it's journalistic misrepresentation to play off a bias.

but it's generally funny, so people are less likely to question it.

and yes, pita chips are that crack

i don't know if thewaleed's brand they sell at costco is organic, but the chips + the hummus =

Organic doesn't necessarily mean your food is healthful and/or environmentally responsible. Buying fresh, local produce is one of the best ways to access healthy and sustainable food.
Very true. The average piece of produce travels 1500 miles to get to the consumer. It's not sustainable in the long run.

anyway, whole foods is making all the money now.
USDA certification is the basic standard. Some people can't afford the expensive certification process though. I'd rather get it off thefarm and know that it's been treated well than go get a 'certified' piece of produce.
Whole Foods isn't bad, but they're definitely making health foods seem out of reach. Their prices aren't too good, but they have a good selectionof produce, which is the only thing that I like. I also like how they prioritize local produce. I just like the variety of foods that are available there.

Oh, and Rice Dream's ice cream is horrible. I don't even know what they were thinking when they made it. It's not sweet and it doesn't have thesame consistency as traditional ice cream. It takes some getting used to. I wouldn't buy it again. It helps neutralize the taste of hemp in smoothiesthough.
