Whole Foods fined for overcharging

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

25. We moved from San Diego to this.

Reading this makes me all the more grateful for the area that we live in. Just a few miles north of us cattle are grazing on thousands of acres of green grass and forest covered hills, we haven’t bought any beef from the market for six months, since we bought a side of organic grass raised beef from a farmer fifteen miles from our home. We know who, how and where it was raised. The total cost including butchering, wrapping and labeling to our specifications, was about $3.75 a pound. Our chicken that’s raised cage free can be locally sourced as well. All the eggs we buy are local organic cage free and bought from the people that we know who raised them. We shop at our new co-op as much as possible and buy organic vegetables from the people that grew them. All of this is priced far cheaper than at the regular market. This is fast becoming a movement in the area from Northern CA to Washington and may be the wave of the future, and yes I’m aware of all the problems this model would have in large cities.
