Whole Lotta Lawyers

New Seasons Market (Portland) has found themselves caught in the crossfire of an ongoing legal dispute between the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Whole Foods Market.

"The disagreement has to do with whether or not the Whole Foods merger with Wild Oats should be "allowed to proceed". Yes, we know that seems like a crazy thing to be fighting about since all the Wild Oats stores that were around here have already been closed or turned into Whole Foods stores, but neither the federal government or Whole Foods asked us for our opinion about that."

On that note, a joke:

Person 1: Did you hear that an egg in Zimbabwe now costs 50 billion dollars?

Person 2: Wow, I didn't know they had a Whole Foods in Zimbabwe!
