		<description>Well said. In addition, I am curious to see how this recession impacts upstream organic farming and ranching outfits.  It seems as if both the growth of the organic food market as well have the price have benefited from this honeymoon and it will be interesting to see where they settle.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s interesting that Whole Foods is raising capital at this time when we not only face a recession, but also as new competition comes on the scene. Whole Foods has had a honeymoon period since swallowing up Wild Oats. new players will surely change the landscape - good business move!</description>
