Hello Jeff.... Can't understand why the industry is so afraid of a few people who don't want to eat there damn products. $11 billion is nothing compared to the whole scene of food production and consumption. I sat in an airplane sometime back with the a manager in Coca Cola's New England division of sales. He was in charge of bottled water, which he said was the single fastest growing element of their whole line. The higher ups couldn't understand..., and didn't want to here that water was out selling Snapple and Cola's. They refused to get into the spring water business and only funded the filtering of tap water to make it "All Natural"..... This whole attitude against "organic" must be a type of arrogance, that the belligerent hard nosed Jack Welch's of the business world don't want to believe is useful. "You can't feed the world with ground scratch'n chickens and moon raised cows out in the back 40." ".... Agribusiness is the future.... How dare you stand up against progress... and anyway it won't kill you......!" Fine..., just leave those with a 0.172% ($11b) interest in Organic Produce alone.... you can have the rest....! The CEO of Whole Foods is on record saying he thinks bio-engineered grains are just fine, but he won't sell it in his stores, because there not going to make him any money. Your experience with Bread and Circus hasn't gone unnoticed by this shopper and many others. But it's still better then "Shaws" or Star Markets. "All Natural" doesn't mean anything... that Raccoon under the neighbors porch here in Boston is all natural.
