I'd also like to give a special thanks to Beverly-your kind words really mean a lot to me, and it's great to know that this blog is making a difference for at least one person out there.

This week I did all my food shopping at Whole Foods. I didn't need a whole lot, so it was a pretty light week. here's what i bought:

3 nectarines
1 lemon
1 can coconut milk
1 8 pack Jane's popcorn
2 5 packs of Annie's fruit snacks

I'm doing repeat recipes this week for dinner (coconut lime rice and chik'n piccata) so I can start getting through what I've already got in my pantry. I supposedly have a potluck on friday and plan to bake some things to sell at an event at the therapeutic riding facility i volunteer at on sunday, so I'll post about what I make for those. In the meantime, expect more open threads and opinion pieces.

Open Thread: Whole Foods

Recently a friend sent me a link to this article:
http://www.postbourgie.com/2010/06/02/skinny-people-shop-at-whole-foods

As someone who frequents Whole Foods, I'd like to point out that this study would have very different results if done in Milwaukee. I'd like to see this study done in multiple cities instead of just Seattle.

I'd like to hear the opinions of everyone else on this article. So go ahead and read it and post your reaction in a comment! I promise I'll read them all and try to respond to everyone, too.
