There is a whole industry of consultants and scientists whose job is to get you to buy and pay more.  In the grocery business, these are people responsible for wafting throughout the store the smell of roasting chicken and freshly baked bread, and placing boxes of hot donuts near the front door.  The science of "priming" uses visual cues, tastes, smells, suggestion, lighting, timing, and location to make our bellies feel more empty and prompt the impulse of our primate brain to fill them with immediately satisfying high calorie, high fat foods.     All of which leads us to the case of the missing pastry case.  As you know, you won't find a bread bakery or pastry shop inside a Natural Grocers store.  In fact, you don't find many super-sweet...

Beanitos is now verified Non-GMO across the entire line.  The new packaging, with Non-GMO logo, will start showing up in distributor warehouses by June 1.

How interesting...we just got samples of a product that was probably designed with kids in mind, but I've gotten unsolicited comments from the adults here at work that it really hits the spot when you're starving and need a quick meal. The product is Ian's frozen Wafflewich, a frozen breakfast convenience food which is wheat-free and gluten-free. We only got to try the Egg & Maple Cheddar one so far, but it has egg/cheese in between two gluten-free toaster waffles. You can microwave it (which is what we did) or bake in oven. My boss had commented, after looking at the box, that it was probably the type of thing her young daughter would love. I had to talk folks into trying a little piece of it at first, because they thought it was a bit odd of an idea, but then everyone...
