The Whole Foods conundrum

There's been plenty of talk about the Whole Foods empire over the past week. The first item was good news for finicky foodies; both Whole Foods and Wild Oats refused to sell products coming from clones animals. The second -- Whole Foods has plans to buy Wild Oats and reconfigure its stores, in another one of many takeovers by the natural foods giant. Stock prices, unfortunately, have fallen over the past year by about 30%, prompting many to comment that perhaps Whole Food's CEO has taken on more than he can chew. Is Whole Foods growing too big; are they selling out? We'd like to hear from you.
