The trend in health food stores is to move toward one-stop shopping, and many of today's stores, such as Whole Foods Market are excellent examples of large-scale centers that cater to the full range of consumer needs.

In addition to the wider array of health food products, health food stores are often a good source of milk substitutes, cruelty-free cosmetics, bulk grains, nuts and seeds, organic fruits and vegetables, non-toxic cookware, vegetarian meat substitutes, non-dairy cheese alternatives, fat-free natural pastries, and fast-food delis.
