I went to Lyfe’s soft opening yesterday.

It was beautiful, eco-built overall (ish), yummy, great service, great owners, great vision. I mean that–if they can make real food available in the manner of upscale fast food, they could help change our nation and make money doing so, a la Chipotle.

Lyfe has four menus! Paleo, Gluten-free, Vegan, Everything. But is Lyfe organic? Are all the “natural” products we buy at Whole Foods or other groceries? If it says natural, and includes soy or corn, you can bet you’re eating pesticide coated or embedded gmos. It’s no wonder cancer, obesity are going through the roof over the last twenty years.

Is Lyfe organic? That’s one question I didn’t hear. I love how Americans care about Paleo, Vegan, Gluten-free (when not celiac)…but not our health, farmers, gmos or environment.

In any case, I’m a fan—but elephant’s readers would like to see more transparency.

Here’s my conversation with the founder, who came out of McDonald’s and said Lyfe came out of the complaints and desires he heard from McDonald’s customers:
