Whole Foods letdown
 

Stopped into the local Whole Foods the other day and
found that they had virtually gutted their tea section.
Previously they had 15 or so large ceramic containers of
Silk Road teas, and a slew of others as well. All of that
is gone, replaced by a small shelf of about 6 Silk Road
teas, stored in small GLASS containers.

I asked one of the 'team members' about it, and she told me they
needed the space. So what do they now use the old tea space
for? Scented candles and such. I'm wondering if other WF markets
are following suit..................................p*

Hmm, I may have to hop on over to Wild Oats (what they call whole foods here
in utah) and see if the change is nation wide.

I wonder if they'd sell you the old ceramic containers :)

Now there's a thought. I wonder though, if they weren't
supplied by SR.

The last time I was in WF I bought a 1oz tin of Rishi BaiMuDan for $10.
I use it as a refill for the 1lb that I bought from Ebay for $10. I
don't go anymore because the parking lot is full with the SUVs taking
up two parking spots.

But what else would be parked at the whole foods market? I mean no
self-respecting organic only soccer-mom would "waste" the time and
effort to frequent an actual local organic grower for their food or
become involved in a co-op or share-holder farm. You know, only the
worst of the best at top dollar for the trendy and fashionable. If you
ever want to watch a great documentary there is one called: The Real
Dirt on Farmer John, the website is: http://www.therealdirt.net/ (the
awards lining both sides of the page confirm my opinion I think :)

I'm hoping my Wegmann's in State College still has the massive tea
section, my yearly visit is next weekend. All this talk has me worried
now.
