I wanted to respond to this on Clayart because it is probably applicable to many who are visiting Kansas City for the upcoming NCECA conference. There is a decent health food store very close to the conference site (within about 2 miles, at least, and accessible by public transportation or a nice walk - located within about a block of the Kansas City Art Institute). It's part of a national chain of health food stores and goes by the name "Wild Oats." Here is the specific store info if you want to contact them prior to arriving to make sure they can accommodate your needs (if they can't, they'd be able to direct you to someone who can):
Kansas City Wild Oats Natural Marketplace
4301 Main St
Kansas City, MO 64111
PH: 816-931-1873
FAX: 816-931-7734
Hours: Mon-Fri: 8am - 9pm, Sat-Sun: 9am - 8pm
Store Director: Dennis Thome
The chain of stores has a web site, which will help locate other stores throughout the nation and give you a better idea of the types of products they sell:

Hopefully this will help whomever is visiting KC and might have special dietary needs.

This brings me to the matter of diet during the next US tour. I will have
to take responsibility for my food for this trip, and I would appreciate any
help (probably off-list?)... for tracking down the following. My first task
when arriving at a workshop destination will be to visit the following:
-- The local "wholefood" supplier - in particular non-refined foods, fresh
fish, tofu (still checking out the controversy here with soy products), lots
of fresh fruit and vegies... preferably "organic", free of poisons,
insecticides etc.
-- Perhaps the local "health food" store as well
I think there are some US-wide chains with good reputations that handle this
sort of stuff. Can anyone tell me their names? The more the better as I go
to the four corners of the US! and the middle too... Any help and
suggestions will be gratefully received. You can contact me off-list at:
ian@currie.to
I expect to post the itinerary tomorrow
Regards and thanks
Ian
