Frequently Asked Questions
Q- Why did we open an organic natural food market, café, juice bar and Gluten-free bakery?
A- Yes, it seems like a mouthful and a very big undertaking in what some people may say is a crazy idea. Actually, we did hear that several times.
Here is our crazy reason why:
There are so many restaurants, cafes, fast food places, bakeries and so on to choose from, but.. most are not created with health and nutrition in mind. Most foods are processed and full of refined sugars and unhealthy refined flours and not to mention has some form of preservatives, pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, trans fats, and GMO’s. It is not pleasant, but it is the truth.
As well, almost everyone knows of someone with a food allergy, food intolerance, auto-immune disease, health problem, weight problem, coronary heart disease, diabetes and so on. We have all become all too aware that the food we eat is not the food our grandparents ate. We’ve changed what the definition of what ‘food’ used to be.
That is why Kindfood was created. We wanted to bring back food that brings life back into your body: the food that repairs your body. That is why we offer natural, organic foods and products that are not processed, or have preservatives, growth hormones, and additives, or are sprayed with chemical fertilizers or are genetically modified (GMO’s).
Q- Besides health, what is another good reason why you chose to open such a specific type of business?
A- We are also dedicated to the wellness of the environment, and we are trying to reduce demand for animal products by offering healthier plant-based alternatives. By choosing a natural organic plant-based diet, your carbon emissions are seven times less than a person on the “Standard American Diet” (consisting of meat, dairy, eggs, fish). Furthermore, plant-based foods and a plant-based diet is not only good for your health, vitality and longevity, it is good for the well-being of the planet, the earth’s inhabitants, and all it’s creatures, and it also reduces animal suffering and cruelty.
