Review: As a vegan this place wasn't my home.

Now don't get me wrong a few years ago when Wild Oats stood in the place Whole Foods M. does now I had a similar assesment of this establishment. The fact is that many of the workers no nothing about what is sold in these places. Now I'm not pretentious enough to assume I am the fountain of knowledge when it comes to foods, but I know a few things, and so when the staff no virtually nothing it's unpleasant. Unlike Wild Oats they exchanged organic peanuts in the manual self grinder to non-organic - that made me sick, although all I can do is laugh about it.

However the knowledge of the staff pales in comparison to the lack of certain offerings. I want my organic produce, this is not always available there. I also would very much appreciate a nice vegan meal, but they cator to the "happy meat" crowd. So all I can say is thank you farmers markets and I am blessed with an ability to cook. If not for these two facts I would be in a rather unpleasant mood.

 
Pros: some organic stuff * some vegan deli options * some vegan stuff
Cons: $$$$$ * meat centered market place * less and less organic, not enough local
