Greedy and Grateful..."Naturally!"

So, I'm back from the Natural Products Expo West with an exciting report about everything that's new and hot and happening in the industry!

OK, let's be honest. I'm really back with some vague impressions and a bloated belly and the vestiges of a sugar coma and some random business cards and a HUGE CRAPLOAD of free samples.

Ah, life is good.

And yes, we did stick to the "one bag" rule, but there were two of us and we also had backpacks. Plus we were determined and relentless. While other members of the media were out interviewing natural product purveyors in order to obtain helpful information for their readerships, we were making sure we got our fair share of free snacks.

This show was huge and we pretty much covered ever food booth in the joint.

I'd declared in advance that this would be an "all bets are off" "eat whatever you want" day because, hello, all you can eat FREE natural products?

So I was kind of curious: would there be a point at which I would "naturally" feel sated and satisfied and stop eating?

As it turns out: the answer was NO.  Kinda what I thought. Self restraint? I haz none.

Yep, I must have deforested an entire acre of (hopefully sustainable) wood with the number of toothpick-speared morsels I scarfed, and I nearly drowned in a sea of natural teas, sodas, waters and other beverages. Seriously, I am not sure I will ever be able to look at another drawn and quartered power bar or cup full of kettlecorn or natural soda without feel...
