STOP&SHOP SETS NEW STANDARDS FOR NATURAL FOODS SECTION IN A SUPERMARKET

If someone said to me, twenty years ago, ten years ago, five years ago, I would walk into a supermarket, and see on the shelves "Red Bolivian Quinoa", I'd have you committed.

Low and behold, I was browsing the aisles at the Stop&Shop in Union, NJ, and that's exactly what I saw.

Voila!

To say their natural foods section is a forte is to put it mildly. having been consuming natural foods for more years than I care to remember, I was literally blown away by some of the true "super-foods" they offer, including:

• Food For Life's Ezekiel Sprouted Cereal. so far superior to other cold cereals, it leaves them in the dust (see my review at http://www.epinions.com/  under my nickname "Jewdacrys"

• Bob's Red Mill line of whole grain products

• Virgil's Diet Root Beer, sweetened with stevia

• Assortment of natural sweeteners, including raw, unfiltered, unpasturized honey, agave, stevia.

• A plethora of natural snacks, made with expeller-pressed oils
