						<description><![CDATA[South Florida has a love affair with food shopping. We wait in line during season at Whole Foods, not-so-patiently await the opening of each new Trader Joe's, and have enough upscale Fresh Markets to keep our pantries routinely stocked with specialty grocery items.

I think it's great that individuals choose to honor their own bodies and the rest of the animal kingdom by abstaining from meat.
