Tough going....

Good grief what a week!! This time last week I was on the phone talking to our CFM consultant Kerien and he was telling me that a building down town was in danger of falling over with people in it. Hard to believe. Then....I saw the 6pm News and life will never be the same again. I had only just been into the CBD just a half hour before the wave hit..funny how life works out sometimes, I had decided to head home and the rain was too heavy and I didn't feel like shopping.


After the initial shock during the following days I couldn't help but think of all the people cut off from their food supplies especially the people with allergies and intolerance's. I went and took a look at the GF food at the major shopping centers that I could reach and was happy to see most products still available, at least WE know how to live without bread and milk.!


It was also lovely to read that Melinda's was distributing food down there in Brisbane, thinking of the Gluten Intolerant members of the Mud Army. The Coeliac Society where also on the case. Good to take care of your own. There was a story of a couple of Coeliac's living on chips and fruit for 3 days!


There is a movement towards buying Qld products, not only do I fully support this movement but hope to do my part as well by stocking as many GF Wholesalers in the store as possible. Even a local Toowoomba product Brighter Life will be on our shelves!


Of course the whole idea of our store is CHOICE. Something that people with food intolerance's don't usually enjoy! Therefore we will be stocking imported products as well. However the majority will be true blue Aussie products!!!
