Where are ALL the good men and the good Food?



This weekend, I had the pleasure of setting up my massage table at a hip and trendy barbershop/hair salon in the Valley. I worked on the bodies of men. Yes, you heard me right. These were men ranging in age from 15-43. There's something to be said about what happens when you get a person on a massage table.They become Human. They become Vulnerable. They relax, let go and allow themselves to experience the Big "P" word. get your mind out of the gutter. Pampering...they allow themselves to be Pampered and actually admit they want and need to be pampered.

I like to equate some aspects of a quality man with that of quality food. Organic foods are those that are produced using environmentally sound methods that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as pesticides and chemical fertilizers, do not contain genetically modified organisms, and are not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives. Like Organic products that typically cost 10 to 40% more than similar conventionally produced products, organic men typically are not easy to find and they require more of an effort to peel back the layers to get to the good part.

I believe a REAL, authentic and genuine Man with an organic sense of self and style will resemble, in a non-literal way ofcourse, that of organic, yummy, good to you and good for you foods. We all know you can't find organic products at your neighborhood five and dime or mom and pop convenient store. You also won't find a quality man hangin on the corner, pants saggin past his butt, talkin about "wassup shawty."

I worked on a 43-year old man that shared with me that when he comes home from working a 10-hour shift, he would love for his woman to rub his feet with some of that Scentsational Soaps peppermint foot butter that I rubbed on his feet. He said, "Yeah, mens like they feet and hands rubbed to." "You women are onto something with all this pampering." He then proceeded to tell every other man who was in the salon that they better come on over and get some of this pamperin.

My point is, let us begin to think outside of the box and outside of the traditional grocery store setting for quality organic foods; same as we might think outside of the traditional setting we've come accustomed to in search of a quality organic man. Websters definition of organic: Simple, healthful, and close to nature

My top locals for finding high quality,organic and cost effective foods from lowest to highest are:

. Your home grown garden
. Trader Joes
. Farmer's Markets
. Sprouts
. Whole Foods

I would love to hear from some of you as to where you find the best priced organic foods in your home town; as well as some good ole fashioned organic men?
