Natural supermarket giant Whole Foods announced Wednesday it would gobble up smaller rival chain Wild Oats. The marketplace for natural and organic food has grown increasingly competitive, a reality that has plagued Whole Foods in recent months.

These comments are frightening and amusing. Apparently the person in the previous comment is paranoid or mis-informed… “Looks like many of the healthy food people will be throw in with the rest of us that has lost the right to safe and healthy food in favor of lining crooked rich mens pocketbooks.” With things like John Mackey lowering his annual pay to $1 and with the animal compassion guidelines set by Whole Foods Market I for one am glad they are in charge of our food.

We’re already paying out the nose. WF is the most expensive healthfood grocery chain in the country. It’s become the WalMart of the healthfood industry. Hopefully now that commercial food chains are stocking more organic products, there will be price reins placed on WF. They’re outrageous.

So, now this corporation is in control of a monopoly, is he? You’ll be paying for ‘safe’ food thru the nose! That’s why America had laws against monopolies to restrain such greed and unfairness. Looks like many of the healthy food people will be throw in with the rest of us that has lost the right to safe and healthy food in favor of lining crooked rich men’s pocketbooks. You know, the ones who bought our representatives and paid them to stab us in the backs so that only THEIR interests would be protected….and that’s what’s called Free Trade…isn’t so free after all, is it?
