# Dude, that sucks.
If you know it can work, I'd say go for it.

If it'll bankrupt you, I'd say don't go for it.

I imagine I've been really helpful with this advice. Sorry about that, but there isn't much advice I'm going to give out about major financial decisions.

# It is a fucking hard choice.
I (personally) can see health food stores going the same way most small butcheries have over the last 15 years...

Being gobbled up by national supermarket chains offering the same roducts at lower prices due to their buying power.

2 years ago this same business was very profitable, but people seem to se it as an expendable luxury when it comes to the crunch. That and woolworths and priceline have the integrity required to sell the cheaper shit products with fuck all benifit at near our buying rate.

At the end of the day having integrity and being able to stand behind what you sell can have consequences. We would rather pay the money than be known to sell shit.

Edit: thanks for you kind words Gronk. It is sincerely appreciated.

Sell them to pharmaceutical companies.

# Or make up an energy drink.
Maybe move to flyers etc and cut out the retail costs.
