I was reading this UK channel 4 article with a feature on an ugly old broad named Janet Street-Porter ( a foodie). This is what she writes about a new Whole Foods Market that opened in Kensington.
“The company’s motto is ‘Whole Foods Whole People Whole Planet’ - but they are ruthless when it comes to competition and closed the local branch of Fresh and Wild (which they owned) in order to drive customers to their Kensington High Street superstore - so much for reducing our carbon footprint. More importantly, do we really need to choose from 40 kinds of sausages, 100 kinds of olive oil or 400 cheeses? In America, the land of the obese, people drive to places this size and stock up for a week at a time - in London there is no culture of doing that, and we already have to travel so far to and from work there’s precious little time left over to shop.”
Umm.. last time I checked, people in London weren’t much thinner.
