You are what you eat, so if you’re feeling virtuous, start shopping at this health food emporium. The store is 99.9 per cent genetically modified organism–free, but unlike so many stores of its ilk, there’s plenty of tempting food. Planet Bean’s sultry coffee (roasted locally) and Manitoba Harvest’s nutty hemp butter are bound to become favourites; naturally raised turkey legs from Cumbrae Farms are far tastier than factory-farmed poultry. Frozen organic fruits and vegetables round out the selection of fresh produce; dairy-free ice cream and specialty grain cereals offer palatable options for those with food allergies.
