yay! what a badass. Thanks for covering this.

I don't get it. Does New Seasons have ANYTHING to do with Whole Foods? Or is Whole foods just pulling the ultimate dick move? Seriously, I am clueless here.

@thelastfewdays: That's precisely what New Seasons is trying to figure out: wtf do they have to do with it? It sounds like they're just using it as an excuse to nab a bunch of info from their competitor. So, yeah, dick move, Phantom Limb.

okay, little beirut, time to go show whole foods what we think of this... the peta folks eventually ran schumacher out of town. we can do the same to whole foods. make it rather unpleasant to shop there, you know...

doesn't seem that anyone sees the real villain here; the Bush administration's FTC -- which allows HUGE mergers in other industries (e.g. there is only one satellite radio co. now) -- and is hassling wfm about the trivial wild oats purchase . . . the point being shown here IS that New Season's valid competition and has not suffered. ask why does the FTC even care?

I don't know that Sirius buying XM is such a good example considering there were only 2 satellite radio companies out there in the first place but screw Whole Foods. The boycott is on like donkey kong.

So an Ok'd monopoly is not a good example? And the FTC should sue WFM then because you want to boycott them? The blogger must be a new season's employee, because your own 'logic' is irrational. I guess being predictably irrational leads to a non-fact-based worldview . . . the FTC is spending (a lot of) your tax dollars -- no concern there?

Note to self, never, ever shop at Whole Foods again (not that I did very often, but on that off chance I'm at 28th and Burnside......)

Please wait...
