It's funny how the stores have a different vibe to them. Island Naturals always seemed to be the yuppie store in Hilo, and Abundant Life the hippy store.
FWIW, Down To Earth is run by a rabidly homophobic, quasi-Hare Krishna cult that Sen. Mike Gabbard of Oahu and Puna's own Alan Yoza are part of. Makes patronizing them kind of distasteful to me, although I suppose it's not much different than going to Wal-Mart.
