Except you&#8217;ll also find all the regular, er, crap, from the grocery store&#8211;sugary foods, paraben-y hair products, etc. It&#8217;s about a 60\/40 split of &#8220;healthy&#8221; to &#8220;regular.&#8221; Sort of an odd feeling, really. I think I relax at Whole Foods, under the happy, homey illusion that everything is organic and harmless. So it was funny to have that feeling walking into GreenWise and yet discover that the only to-go sandwiches were meat&#8211;Boar&#8217;s Head, no less. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mt-image-left\" style=\"margin: 0pt 20px 20px 0pt;float: left\" alt=\"greenwise-store.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/84\/import\/greenwise-store.jpg\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" \/><\/span>I was, however, grateful to be able to find all the necessary things (mini Weleda toothpaste, Lara bars) in a city not teeming with options. Publix has converted three of its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.publix.com\/wellness\/greenwise\/stores\/Locations.do\">Florida stores<\/a> to GreenWises and even has a free health <a href=\"http:\/\/www.publix.com\/wellness\/greenwise\/feature\/Home.do\">magazine<\/a> of the same name. They&#8217;ve also got a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.publix.com\/wellness\/greenwise\/products\/Home.do\">GreenWise house brand<\/a> that I imagine is cheaper. <\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this &#8220;merging&#8221; phenomenon? Does it inspire people not normally so inclined to eat healthier? Or does it pollute the integrity of a regular health food store? Something tells me this is the way of the future.
