WOW! Great transparency. I saw an impressive documentary on John Mackey about a month ago and he's the real deal.

On a sad note, their stock took on heck of a beating today... 21% drop on lower 2007 expectations.

The store is a ripoff. Full of snooty people and exorbitant prices. The CEO probably feels bad for ripping off so many people. Stock is overpriced and deserves the crush. Nothing to feel sad about. I agree with this guy.
