And and excuse for a high price tag!

Though even the read deal organic stuff at the farmers market most of  
the time is way too expensive to buy on a consistent basis. I  
understand why but my budget does not :)

When my girlfriend and I shop for food it it limited to what is in  
season at the farmers market and basically the rest we get at Whole  
Foods. Though lately with her moving to chinatown we get lots of nice  
veggies (bok choy etc..) in the neighborhood for crazy cheap. I love  
Whole Foods more than any other store in the universe, as I was raised  
going to health food type stores*, and this is a giant one :) It's  
also great how much of their stuff if from local sources.

Please no one reply that upper management kills babies or causes  
drought in upper mongolia etc...
