Somehow I don’t think Whole Foods and Wal-Mart attract the same clientele.

A few years back I saw an article in an MIT student publication about a young girl's (presumably an MIT student) visit to a Whole Foods in her home town.In essence what she said,after having described the 400 types of cheese and the 300 varieties of wines they sold there,that shopping at Whole Foods isn't about health....it's a blatant display of conspicuous wealth.You don't see many Volvos or Bimmers in a WalMart's parking lot while that's *all* you see at Whole Foods.Well...those and some Subarus with ski racks on the roof.

Anybody bother to check the labels on foods sold at Walmart? MUCH of their “off brand” items come from China like the majority of their other products. There ARE food brands produced in American but you have to watch what you purchase. One example: Canned mushrooms. Check the labels and you will find a number of items like these that indeed were produced in China.
