Whole Foods is a mixed blessing in my mind. While it helps solidify the suburbanization of New York, Ill admit that its aisles of attractive packaging and beautiful pieces of fish are hard to resist.

Ohhh! Wild Gulf shrimp! Is that what Forest and Bubba were talking about when they decided to start BubbaGump Shrimp?
Wow! Nina is cute, and she can cook! It's too bad that I'm allergic to shrimp.
Isn't Whole Foods wonderful? I had never heard of them before until I got off the subway at Union Square and saw it for the first time in my life (I was up in NYC visiting my grandmother last year). I instantly fell in love with everything WFM had and have been harping about them ever since! I also recently found out that they are building one in my city this year! Ah~ bliss!
