Too, many of the regular chain stores like Giant, Safeway, Shoppers, etc., are getting more and more organic products in stock. Sad to say, it doesn't make much difference to me how many organic markets there are; with the cost of food the way it is and the economy the way it is and my wages frozen, I can't afford to shop at these stores, at least not for a big grocery order. I can't even afford to buy as much at our farmers' market as I used to, much to my regret. Fact is, not everyone in the Riverdale Park area has an income in keeping with the prices these stores charge. </SPAN></div>

<div><FONT color=#000000><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>Focus people. Whole Foods is just a carrot for masses to grease the skids for the Cafritz development proposal. The bottom line is what they are proposing with "all of the rights and privileges there of", not Whole Foods. As I said in an earlier post, there is an organic market opening up right down the street in the EYA development. <SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Do we need three organic markets (EYA, RP, Whole Foods) within a mile of each other?</SPAN></FONT></FONT></div>
