[Magdalen] a question you should never ask at Walmart

We did some Whole Paycheck Hopping about 15 years ago when my mother had been 
diagnosed as a celiac. But the gluten-free fad had not kicked into high gear, 
yet -- so about the only place to get a nice variety of gluten-free food and 
ingredients (including cake, cookie and pancake mixes!) was Whole Food.

Once we determined what she could and couldn’t eat, we stopped doing Whole 
Foods. I have to admit that I also bought some meat there -- as they were hands 
above (and priced above <g>) the quality of any supermarket, or even many 
butcher shops.
