The last time I was in California was two years ago. I couldn't wait to
get home to somewhere where the little tubs of cream that you got with
your coffee didn't have 45 ingredients. Oh, there was the occasional
bright spot like a wonderful little do-it-themselves ice cream parlour in
Costa Mesa, but there was nowhere I went where 'bread' meant whole grain
and 'butter' didn't mean margarine.

On the other hand, there were some wonderful health-food stores. I just
didn't find any restaurants to match.
