When we were in Denver in September, we drove by a shop with an intriguing name. It was closed the first time we drove by, but it happened to be close to our favorite restaurant there (+ half a mile from where we used to live years ago!). So we decided to stop by the next day for a look around.
Nude Foods is zero-waste shopping like I've never experienced it before! The shelves are stocked with glass jars containing everything you'd be looking for in a regular grocery store...even ready made snacks, frozen fruit + veg, meat, frozen meals, pet food + detergent.
A lot of what ends up in our garbage bins comes from food. There is so much we can do to avoid it. We can skip fast food + shop farmer's markets, bulk bins + loose produce. We can bring our own cloth bags + choose items packaged in recyclable glass + paper.
It would also be nice to have more zero-waste options.
A LOT of thoughts flew through my mind after our visit to Nude Foods. This isn't a perfect solution to our food system, but it is pretty incredible. This is Nude Foods second location, so I hope it continues to be embraced + gains notice. What I appreciate most (since I can't shop there) is proof of concept + community formation. Hope is alive for better.
Love,
Jane
