<hr><P><b>Comments:</b></p>My logic tells me FTC just weakened  an organic stores' grocer market share and purchase power.....I see FTC rationale  ...it must be mostly about some political reasons and it changes the  Waddock CSR sphere model to a large political sphere,--Therefore putting the ecological sphere at risk....not good in my opinion.    Now WF will have to even cater more to those who can afford them...again making it so more less wealthy people have less choices for good healthy food.
