Great Grocery Store Article

If you have the New Yorker on your iPad, retrieved from your mailbox, or even checked out from your library (imagine that!), I hope you don't miss the article, "A Bushel and a Peck," in the January 16th issue. It lovingly and hilariously deconstructs the psyches of various grocery stores and those who choose to frequent them, focusing on New York, but with reverberations for us out on the frontier as well. You can get a teaser of the start of the article for free on the New Yorker's website. How's this snippet to whet your appetite: "Whole Foods is a gleaming sanctuary wherein only the purest, most nonviolent, non-cloned, virtuous, and pricey goods are said to dwell, a meetinghouse in which customers believe themselves to be imbued with a touch of divinity." Great writing, great article.
