A new Whole Foods recently opened a few blocks from my place in Seattle. I've only been a minor fan in the past -- there's something too precious about getting carrots there. But this new store is so full of delicious stuff that exists nowhere else, so it will probably become my regular grocery store. ANYWAY, Slate has a story about Whole Foods' stock tanking even though it shouldn't be. [via]
many years ago i was a produce manager in a health food store, and i am always amazed at how perfect their produce is. it's a hell of a lot fo work to keep it that perfect.my theory is that they must throw away or (hopefully!) donate boxes upon boxes worth of the less pretty produce.
and they have a kick ass deli. rumor has it they will be opening one in a year or so a few blocks from me. my wallet hurts already.

The list of upcoming stores is pretty impressive.
