They were one of the first little health food stores to open over 41 years ago and one of the last that remain open today because of competition from big box stores. We re still here only because of our loyal base of customers, said Middletown resident Janet Barre, owner of World of Nutrition, the roomy and homey health food, vitamin and natural product sanctuary tucked in at the end of Market Square. Barre, 78, is the most charming and compassionate of store owners. What she calls a free consultation is really a heartwarming conversation where customers pour their ailments out and Barre educates them on how to get better. The solutions to so many things are simple, Barre says. We deal with the problem, not the symptom. Our chief thing here is to educate people so they can help themselves. Her daughter Tabitha, 44, began stocking shelves and helping customers when she was nine years old. Today, the Newington resident runs the business without laying a finger on a computer keyboard.
