This blog is a discussion on the benefits of "health food".
Today I took a turn about my local health food shop and bought the following items: gogi berries (delicious), Sea vegetable (fishy), miso soup (extremely vile), and odd rice cheese (yet to try).
Now, the miso soup is said to be a good breakfast, but I don't know how many people are a fan of tasteless and briny fluids which have a mild hint of fish first thing in the morning, or in fact, any time of day. I for one will not be starting, continuing or ending my day with any such delicacy. To make matters worse, there was mashed kelp at the bottom of my cup...I might have wretched.
I feel that health food shops have a lot to offer, but I don't know how anybody else feels about "thistle tea", said to have health benefits which were not specified...I think the health benefits might be that it tastes so vile you are dissuaded from eating actual thistles?
Also, the staff are a poor advertisment for the products, as I perused the aisles I took note of items which might aid the health of the cashier...slightly unkind but also fun. I picked out this shopping basket for her: 1. Apple Cider slimming aid 2. Evening primrose oil (I am assuming menopause) 3. Seed mix for good hair and nail growth and 4. Iron suppliments...she looked anaemic.
If I learnt one thing from the trip, it is that the people who work in health food shops look like they prefer burger kings, lank hair and bloodless veins. Infact, that concoction sounds more appetising than Miso soup...gag
