markets have is that they accept special WIC checks given to people just so they
will buy fresh veggies from those type markets. They are not allowed to
use them in grocery stores so at least thats one thing that might keep the
markets open when the big organic markets open.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">There's also My Organic
Market (Mom) in College Park. 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>

Foods is just a carrot for masses to grease the skids for the Cafritz

"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
