One of the concerns I had before moving to Japan was food safety. With the radiation scare and Japan being the proud inventor and worldwide distributor of MSG, my expectation of finding a Berkeley Bowl or Earth Fare of Japan was not too high. You'd see me giving a dirty look at every package I pick up at a supermarket.
Then I joined a co-op that distributes safe food through membership. This particular co-op is renowned for strict screening and direct engagement of producers. They reuse glass bottles and jars. They measure radiation of every food item. They refrain from pesticides and artificial food additives. They renounce GM and animal cruelty.
Granted, they don't have the cool aesthetics of Whole Foods, but hey, I feel good eating the stuff.
