The Daily Meal covers every aspect of the food and drink experience: restaurants, chefs, food trends, cookbooks, wine and spirits, healthy dining, home entertaining, food-oriented travel — and of course cooking. We believe that cooking and eating together unite us and connect us with the outside world. These pursuits can and should be fun — as should a web site dedicated to them. And they can and should be a communal endeavor. To that end, The Daily Meal serves up a well-planned mix of content, both original and carefully selected, and then encourages readers to speak up about their own culinary passions, skills, preferences, and opinions. The Daily Meal serves you all the food that is fit to eat.

Santa Monica's only co-operatively-run, member-owned natural food grocer since 1974.
We have been in business for over 40 years, with currently over $24 million in annual sales.
Co-opportunity has been providing natural, organic and local foods to the Santa Monica area since 1974. We have one of the largest, freshest selections of certified organic produce, in addition to a wide variety of natural, healthy foods.
As a Co-op, we’re much more than just another natural foods store—we’re actually owned by our local community. Unlike the national chain stores, we exist to serve you, our owners—not a distant corporate board.
Co-opportunity, which is also open to the public, believes economic power should be situated locally, where it has the best chance to create and sustain vibrant, livable communities. Because we’re truly local, owning a piece of your Co-op is really about owning a piece of your community!
