Health Food Restaurants in Decatur, AL

“I have edited my review after the kind response from the owner. I will gladly educate anyone on the dangers of the mammalian allergy known as Alpha Gal. Thanks for being willing to learn. You were my favorite vitamin shop before my diagnosis and I would love to be able to shop locally, again.

A health store that doesn’t know the difference between vegan and vegetarian is unworthy of my business. Telling someone with the Alpha Gal allergy that lanolin is vegan and “you’re not eating the sheep” is unacceptable. Over half a million people in the US have this tick borne allergy so it’s time for your employees to learn some basic information!! Also, the sweet lady that answered the phone was not the reason for this review…it was the rude person in the background (not Steve who was willing to look for a mushroom answer). I’m glad I didn’t waste a trip. If my call had been returned as promised, I would have used it as a teaching opportunity. Many of us with this allergy generally prefer to handle it that way. The word “vegan” has taken on a new identity. It is the only safe way for me to buy supplements.“
