Snow day is Beatles and bread day

It is snow day today and I am working from home while listening to the complete discography of the Beatles and making Honey Oat Nut Wheat Bread.
Currently my bread still needs 35 minutes in the oven and my turntable is spinning The Magical Mystery Tour (I started this morning with The Beatles’ Decca Tapes and plans to finish with Abbey Road).
A while back I posted a link about Whole Foods selling organic items from China and it made me look at the organic superstore with renewed suspicion.
I mean, Whole Foods is okay in the sense that they sell local and mostly organic items, which supports the local farmers. But to participate in the global free-trade racket by selling products from who knows where and pricing these products cheaper than the local products is beyond me.
This practice only makes Whole Foods a rich man’s Walmart.
Yes, Walmart sells organic as well as products from any other place reachable by a cargo plane, but cheaper than any store in the country.
Likewise, I cannot explain why Whole Foods is selling foods that aren’t whole at all. Chips? Yuppie Health Bars?
PS: Google appears to be crashing down in this bad weather. Can’t access any of their sites: Youtube, Google Search, Google Mail. Etc. Or could it be my Internet provider?
