Attention, naysayers – we’ve found your headquarters. If you’re choosey, then the BC-wide grocery chain, Choices Organic and Gourmet Market, has the ‘yes’ you crave.
No gluten? Step into a wheat-free paradise courtesy of the on-site rice bakery and the extensive freezer section. Welcome back things you thought you’d left behind forever like tasty pizza crusts and oh so decadent chocolate cake.
No pesticides? Choices has one of the largest selections of organic produce and packaged foods. And, if you want to grow your own – stop by in the spring when they have a variety of garden-ready organic plants.
No meat? Aside from every ingredient any vegetarian or vegan would ever need to create drool-worthy dishes, there are scads of options to be found at the hot and cold ready-to-serve food deli.
No dairy? How about almond, rice, coconut, soy or hemp? And, don’t skip the ice cream aisle where all of those non-dairy options have been converted into delicious frozen treats.
No parabens? Cruise the natural living section in the centre of the store and you’ll be amazed how easy beautiful and paraben-free can be. From hair dye to skin care to make-up; they’ll have you looking like a million bucks without compromise.
No pesticides, no cooked food, no sugar, no unethically traded goods, no long distance produce... yes they have those, too!
So, if you’re tired of eye rolls and deep sighs every time you list the things on your no-no list, spend some time at Choices where they’ll be the naysayers responding with, “no problem!”
