Gluttony

The Okanagan seems to need to flaunt it's bountious bounty. Not only do the residents of the Valley seem to have cornered the market on weather, golfing and consignment furniture stores...but they are gluttonous bastards when it comes to high end "Whole Foods" like market places.
How the hell can one small city manage to have all these Green Grocers, Natures Way and Organic Fares on each and every block yet Edmonton....all we friggin get is Sun Terra Market. In Kelowna and it's surrounding "burbs" you can stop and not only get your regular organic fare, but don't look now...there is a deli AND a bakery AND artisan cheeses and holy hell...a freakin JUICE BAR!
Please chosen people of the Okanagan I implore you...share your wealth. Come to Edmonton and I promise you I will visit you daily and bring all my healthy friends. Stop being up "stuck up" whole foods impersonators. Onlock your doors to Alberta....

FYI
Tangible home tomorrow...
