Ha ha ha!!!! The Starbucks of food, Whole Foods, gets it's comeuppance. It represents (but isn't) so much of what is wrong about food in this country. The best quality, oversight, and nutrition, are available for the right people, at the right price, in the right neighbourhoods. What started as a wholesome and humble concept in became an über-picky, annoying, snooty, costly, affair - like what Starbucks did to coffee...how many syllables can it take to get a cofffee or a chicken? "I want a double, soymilk, iced, frap..." "I want a grain fed, free range, hormone free, organic...". My Whole Foods experiences have been unpleasant - full of lots of overly serious, self-consumed, folks like me...but less friendly. AMAZON the equalizer?
