Vital Health Foods was founded in 1947 by Mr. Jack Grieve in the small town of Wellington, South Africa. It was the first health foods company in South Africa and has since become the largest in Africa, with a head office in Cape Town and a subsidiary in Australia. Vital is a family-owned and run company, into third-generation management in 2005.
Vital supports the Proudly South African campaign.
Famous quotes containing the words vital, health and/or foods:
“... the task of youth is not only its own salvation but the salvation of those against whom it rebels, but in that case there must be something vital to rebel against and if the elderly stiffly refuse to put up a vigorous front of their own, it leaves the entire situation in a mist.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“The health of the soul is something we can be no more sure of than that of the body; and though a man may seem far from the passions, yet he is in as much danger of falling into them as one in a perfect state of health of having a fit of sickness.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“There are many of us who cannot but feel dismal about the future of various cultures. Often it is hard not to agree that we are becoming culinary nitwits, dependent upon fast foods and mass kitchens and megavitamins for our basically rotten nourishment.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
