It takes a lot to impress me, but Hale Organic Restaurant really did!

No matter how busy I am or where I am rushing to, I can rarely pass the Down to Earth store on King Street in Honolulu without stopping. I have had too many outrageously delicious moments at their all-vegetable organic food buffet.
The first time I tried their sugar-free pumpkin bars, their organic pasta salad or tofu spinach phyllo quiche, my perceived impressions about all organic and vegetarian food changed forever.
Never mind that I, Ruth, have already driven 30 plus miles from Laie where I live on the North Shore of Oahu, and have so many eateries to choose from. Not only do I feel proud of myself for helping to protect Mother Earth from the poisons of pesticides, but also I truly feel healthier after eating such quality food.
With so many contaminants in the air, soil and water these days, it is very comforting to know that you haven’t just eaten something that might harm you.
If you ever find yourself in Honolulu, take my advice and DO NOT pass up Down to Earth with its delicious buffet. If you have never eaten organic before, I guarantee you will be a convert by the time you finish!
