“Wholesome Foods, I love you . . . is that okay?” asks a new webseries by the same name.
Wholesome Foods, I Love You . . . Is That Okay? describes itself as an “offbeat dramedy” about Julia, a “neurotic yoga teacher who, in an effort to pick up the pieces of her ever-unraveling life, sets out in search of love.” The twist? Julia’s search for love takes place primarily at her favorite supermarket, the fictional Wholesome Foods, whose endless shelves of organic produce, snacks, and beverages are a clear invocation of the real-world Whole Foods Market.
Creator and show runner Krista Hovsepian, who also plays Julia, conceived of the show in 2013, during a particularly difficult time in her life. After signing on a number of notable actors—including Daniel De Santo (Mean Girls, Are You Afraid of the Dark, The Magic School Bus), Jenny Raven (Flatliners, Designated Survivor, Black Mirror), and Nina Rausch (Grey’s Anatomy, Orange Is the New Black)—Hovsepian decided to crowdfund the show’s production, raising the funds via Kickstarter in short order.
In addition to the above-mentioned actors, WFILY features 25 characters, 19 of whom are women. Readers of Paleo Magazine may recognize Danika Brysha, founder of Model Meals, who plays Hovsepian’s character’s sister in the show’s fourth episode. Hovsepian’s love and appreciation for the health community is evident: A number of prominent Paleo brands feature in the series, and eagle-eyed viewers will spot the appearance of several issues of Paleo Magazine as well.
“[Wholesome Foods, I Love You] is about making people feel connected and less alone in their journey,” Hovsepian says.
The series features 14 short-form episodes, with a new episode released every Thursday, and is currently streaming online for free. For more information, checkout out WFILY.com.
