Amazing

I am sitting in the sitting area of Whole foods and it is interesting to just watch the people that purchase the stuff from here. The smells here are very interesting because you have the different products, health care products and environmentally safe cleaning products.

More people need to start shopping at whole foods. But the only problem is that the prices at Whole Foods is so much that sometimes it is much easier to just shop at Ralph's to get sometimes the same products for much cheaper.
