Wholefoods

Took a trip to my favourite supermarket this morning. THIS is the place where you want to do your food shopping.

People outside the US always think Americans eat unhealthy. It so depends where in the US you are. Eating out, yes, it can be a little tricky. Most salads have more calories than any cheeseburger, but thanks to the impeccable customer service, you can swap and change anything on the menu. And looking around, yes, there are fast food places everywhere. I am still astonished when seeing families at Chicken filet and all those places having a family meal and eating all that junk. I do miss fine dining, sitting at a cozy restaurants where they don't have burgers, sandwiches and wings on the menu.
The food shopping, however, is such a delight, I can walk around at Wholefoods for hours. Now that is something we would need in both Sweden and Germany. Unbeatable!

Fantastic Bread

Coconut Water is still trendy

So much fruit and veggies

Alternativ milk - long way head of Europe. In general, if you are vegan, are gluten allergic or like raw food, this is the place to shop

Who said you can't get good sausages in the US?

The veggies have vitamin points, the higher point, the better they are for you!

I cannot agree more! I am glad you are seeing there is more than one side to Americans :)
I heard also that they have Whole Foods in London too.

Love love love Whole Foods. Helt kär i det stället. Saknar Amerikanska matbutiker mycket. Tycker att deras frukt och grönt sektion är så fantastiskt ljuvliga. Jag upptäckte att USA är extremernas land på många sätt. Visst är det många som inte äter så nyttigt men det är också ett land där man verkligen kan äta supernyttigt också. Tycker nog inte att de flesta svenskarna äter speciellt nyttigt.
Kram!

Katie, US is so much more healthy than Germany!

Desiree, nä du, svenskarna med sina korvar och husmanskost och feta såser ;) Det är lätt att falla för frestelserna här ibland men oj vad nyttigt man kan handla! Håller verkligen med - USA är verkligen extremt, både på gott och ont.
