Devil in an Apron

breakfast: cereal

lunch: Madras thali

dinner: rasberries, cottage cheese

workout: Callanetics 10/10

I went to two different Whole Foods today trying to find Devil in an Apron's chocolate covered pecan pie. Both stores have decided not to carry it anymore. However, I was told that if I wanted to drive several hours away, I could find a store that had it. Instead, these stores near me have decided to carry an extremely poor quality chocolate. I won't put the name on here because I'm sure the creator is proud of the product and doesn't think it sucks as badly as I do (as well as everyone I know). Why replace a locally made, organic product that can compete internationally for awards with something that makes Hershey's look like it's equivalent to La Maison du Chocolat and Michel Chaudin?

I remember when Whole Foods first started. It really tried to be about organic, quality food. Now the shelves are filled with conventional products. As the company evolves, every time I go into a new store, I can really tell the company has never had a business plan and understand why the owner did some illegal activities to promote his business that's gotten him to trouble. I wish Whole Foods hadn't put so many good health food stores out of business.

Whole Foods Prairie Bread

breakfast: Whole Foods prairie bread with peanut butter, banana

lunch: pasta primevera, salad

dinner: 2 taquitos, avocado, carrots

I tried Whole Foods' gluten free prairie bread today. Big Mistake! I can only imagine that eating it is just like eating a sponge in terms of both taste and texture. I thought that since it had sesame seeds, poppy seeds, etc. it would have a nice flavor. Boy was I wrong!

Whole Foods carries a lot of brands of gluten free bread. The store brand looked like people bought it the most. If that's so, I really can't imagine what the other brands must be like. If real bread even remotely resembled Whole Foods' bread, bread wouldn't be so popular around the world. It probably wouldn't have taken off at all.
