Didn't Amazon buy Whole Foods?

Funny thing, i finally stopped in a Whole foods a coupla weeks ago, because i wanted to tour the rooftop urban farm they had, and while prices were higher than say shoprite, i didnt think they much higher than some of the other pricier local grocery chains like trader joes or stop and shop. :|

WalMart has the same standards for produce as Whole Foods

Most of your higher ends restaurants, if they are in an area for it, are working with local farmers/produce suppliers.
