Put it on the Detroit side of the shed..

Good for them. Detroiters need real food, not pathetic synthetics.

I hear you on that, but HF is VERY high. You really need to be making a very strong income to shop there full-time. And I find their juice option to limited. I'd prefer to see a Trader Joes, which while not fully organic is a more affordable bridge to off the full process, fructose stuff.

I may be wrong on this, but my experience is that Whole Foods is not really designed for full-time shopping, nor do most of their regular customers buy all of there groceries there. Whole Foods is more of a specialty store where people go to get certain items that are hard to find at regular grocery stores.

You don't have to make a ton of money to shop at Whole Foods, as long as you aren't buying everything there. I think most people are buying things like non-GMO bread, free-range chicken, organic produce items, specialty prepared foods, and things like that at WF, and also going to Meijer/Kroger/Wal-Mart for other basic grocery and household items. It's like buying a nice coat or shoes at an expensive specialty clothing store, and buying socks and underwear at Target.

I think there is use for both. If I lived in Midtown, I would likely go there for most of my shopping. Everything except meat, probably, since that is about 5x the cost of normal meat.

I like the way you put that. I'd never go to WF for a bottle of catchup but yes, I do like some of their other items as I can afford them. Some of their lotion and hair care products are now my favorite.
