We just got a Whole Foods here in Pittsburgh. I think it was their biggest opening in company history. I went there about a week after it opened, and they had ATTENDANTS directing the traffic in the parking lot, it was so crowded.

I stopped there to check it out and get veggies for my rabbit. The produce is just beautiful - it looked like a little kid's coloring book picture of food, the colors were so vibrant. I got a few other things, and it all looked delicious, but the prices were just out of control for me. Plus I grew up in the country and fresh out of the ground food isn't this big exotic thing.

My father (who admittedly is a bit prejudiced, since he worked for a farm-supply co. and sold LOTS of chemicals and fertilizer) pointed out that if the whole country tried to go organic, we could never feed everyone, since so much of the crop would be killed by pests.
