Rubies and Emeralds: Erewhon: Natural Foods Market

While I'd prefer to eat some chicken fingers and French fries, my father would prefer some steamed kale with a side of quinoa. He has been trying for years to get me eat healthier which has been blocked by my stubbornness. In any event, I accompanied him to Erewhon which is the mecca of all healthy foods, green products, vitamins, and much, much more. They have a "bar" where you can order immunity shots and weird juice concoctions. As much as I didn't want to admit it, the store is pretty sweet. My boyfriend decided to get a pressed juice and while to me, the cloudy green liquid looked frightening, he swore he felt amazing after consumption. Also, there was a lady giving out sample mineral shots. She claimed that this helped open your cells so they could absorb all the vitamins you take. My courageous boyfriend took the shot and later at the movie theater we joked, uh oh--hope this Icee and popcorn with artificial butter we are eating isn't absorbing throughout his whole body!

Because this is LA, everyone in this store gives off the vibe that they are so coooool and natural...but you know what, I bet they are going to Taco Bell after they leave. Crunchy taco or a mysterious green liquid? There is an obvious winner, but hey... I'm biased...
