[Magdalen] a question you should never ask at Walmart

[Charles Wohlers]

I went into a Whole Foods (in Hingham, MA) once. When I saw the *exact* same 
apple cider as I get in the local supermarket for a dollar more a gallon, I 
walked right out - never to return. There's a reason they call it "Whole 
Paycheck".

In Vermont we have local coops, where you can get the same stuff as Whole 
Foods - well, not everything as they're smaller, but a lot more local and a 
lot in bulk, and a whole lot cheaper. And, guess what - there are no Whole 
Foods in Vermont.

We have a new Fresh Market here, and their prices are definitely right up 
there with Whole Foods. The only thing that's better is their parking!
