I have a friend who has been working in a health food store for years now and I am very surprised at how drastically different they are now than they were years ago. I remember when it was all about natural weight loss supplement supplies and protein powders and that kind of thing.

It has evolved so much and serves so many more purposes now than it did years ago. While I was waiting in the store to go for lunch with my friend, a lady came in to pick up her supplements for thyroid care. I was surprised that the store catered to not only the fitness junkies anymore, but to the general public.

I mentioned this to my friend and she said that they had certainly come a long way. She said that they actually now carried ADD/ADHD natural treatments for children and that most parents felt so much better giving their child a natural treatment over a prescription drug. I agreed with her and am glad to say I might actually find a use for the place yet.
