Healthy eating has become a clear consumer trend in the United States. This food trend certainly shapes the options visitors to the Hamptons have when they go out to restuarants and food stores. Health and nutrition products cater to people who want to balence the major nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and viatmins, and avoid harmful food contaminants. People who seek out health and nutritional products may be on a diet to lose weight or a restrictive diet because of food allergy and sensitivity.

Health food is a vaguely defined idea however. Some people think of health food as synonymous with "organic grwon food" while others emphasize being free of chemical additives in the processing stage. Nutrition products have a less well defined meaning. They usually include: (1) vitamins, minreals and related supplements, (2) herbs and herbal health formulas, (3) diet and weight loss products, and (4) energy and sports bars and drinks.
