BEST HEALTH FOOD: ABOUT LIFE

The term ‘health food’ has been known to strike fear in the hearts of some, who automatically assume that this involves consuming foodstuffs with a taste (and texture) reminiscent of cardboard. This is certainly not the case when it comes to About Life. Within two minutes of being in this natural food market, both fans (and non-fans) of healthy eating will realise they have stumbled across foodie heaven, without having to compromise on taste. Products include an array of ordinary groceries as well as those for every alternative food requirement you can imagine, from gluten free to environmentally friendly. The market is also famous for its in-store qualified naturopath, ready to dish out advice and provide herbal remedies, and its internal café with free trade coffee – we recommend the corn fritter stack if you’re feeling peckish. I feel healthy just thinking about it all. (Jade Tyrrell)
