The thumb on the scale intensifies the taste.

A friend of mine went to Whole Foods today to buy $27 cruelty-free aluminum foil and $43 free-range water. She was thrown out for not wearing yoga pants.

Well, you have to realize Whole Foods is based in Texas. I haven't set foot in a Whole Foods, even if it is the closest supermarket to my house, since I read the John Mackey interview in the New York Times Magazine. You can read it for yourself: http://www.nytimes.com/2013...

They're in the wine aisle, slipping the chardonnay underneath the quinoa.

In terms of a decent selection of (mostly) decent food, they're hard to beat. If you need something particular, they'll usually have it. The vegetables are gorgeous.

Their steam table and deli items can be excellent as well. (Try the pastrami!)

And the prices are utterly stunning.

Such is the area in which I live that there is no Big Lots nearby.

When I leave Whole Foods, though, I'm often overwhelmed with the urge to go next door to Petsmart and ask if I can hug some of their puppies to recover.

Whole Foods is going to open a new line of stores called 365 Markets that will offer the same wholesome, natural/organic foods they already sell, but at affordable prices.

Which kind of opens the question: Why not just lower the prices in the stores you already have?

You can make a lot of dough if you short-weight the right products.

Just checked--the nearest WFS is 9 hours/600+ miles away. I'll buy my tofu elsewhere.
