Doc, tonight'sBarron's weekday trader article is about natural food stocks. Here's an excerpt: <The sale of natural and organic foods, a more than $10-billion industry in the United States, is growing by an estimated 10% to 15% a year while traditional food sales are increasing by only 6% annually, according to the Grocery Manufacturers of America. And the biggest natural foods grocers and manufacturers are expected to produce compound annual earnings growth approaching 20% in the next five years. What's going on? Americans are willing to pay up for products they think will contribute to a healthier lifestyle. That makes high-margin natural foods relatively recession-proof. And unlike faddish dietary supplements, food products tend to be repeat purchases. Also, like the rest of the food sector, the natural foods group has seen lots of mergers. More are expected as smaller producers link up with big, traditional players to get more distribution muscle. But unlike many food stocks, which have had a good run, shares in some natural foods companies are well off their highs because the companies haven't delivered consistent earnings.>
