2. They are also rebranding the store to indicate the takeover: A-WHOLE FOODS

4. What's the problem? It's not as if WF's prices and/or selections are geared towards the Common Man.

Yes, I've shopped in my "local" (about 20 miles away) WF.

7. Like Wal*Mart, sucking on the taxpayer teet while destroying retail, now food establishments.

There has been some analysis on this and its pending impact.

Come back with that same question in a couple of years, when food stores are under strife.

11. Actually, in Albuquerque, Whole Foods prices are very reasonable

vegetables maybe about 25 - 50 cents more for organic vegetables.

We have lots of organic grocery stores, so maybe the prices are good because of the competition.

3. Groovy, I can get my asparagus water delivered by Amazon Prime

Amazon paid way too much for Whole Foods.

5. Somehow, I'll go with the judgment of Jeff Bezos.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

8. Oh yeah, how is his Pets.com stake doing?

[Codeine]

6. Will the new Kindle be gluten-free? nt

[longship]

9. GMO free Kindles, and homeopathic supplemental ones, too.

The latter don't do anything at all. They're just pretend.

[Calculating]

10. No more shopping at whole foods for me

Not that I shopped there much anyway. The prices are ridiculous.
