| Whole Foods Market: Wild Oats merger on track
Whole Foods Market has offered incentives for key Wild Oats staff to stay for a transition period. Whole Foods is offering Gregory Mays, Wild Oats' interim CEO, a $750,000 bonus to stay on until the sale is completed in April. The merger reinforces Whole Foods Market's dominant position in natural and organic food retailing in the US and enables the retailer to compete on a firm footing with its mass market rivals. .
Spring Street International School "Dispatches" from the field
The river is wide and slow as a lake, sweet and languid. The other side is a flat empty sand field ready to be covered in water when the monsoons come. Monkeys run on railings and rooftops, snakes in sacks to dance for horn players on the ghats, rats will eat food left in your room, mangy dogs bark all night, and sleep by day. Cows walk wherever they will, sometimes in the middle of a wedding party, sometimes in the middle of a narrow stairway, sometimes giving birth in the street with a garland of fresh marigold blossoms hanging around their neck. You cook on an open fire in your 1000 year old stone house filling it with woodsmoke. All the water for washing and cooking comes from an outdoor faucet, but you have a cell phone in your pocket. You can tell the history of your country, but not without including the activities of the Gods.
Even you can eat healthy, cheap food
Last year when Sen. Jarrett Barrios, D-Cambridge, proposed that marshmallow Fluff be banned from schools, the media had a field day. Perhaps none were was quick to laugh at Barrios than Somerville Journal editor Kathleen Powers, who argued that at-home meals, not school snacks, would shape kids’ nutrition. Although they have different takes on Fluff and nutrition, Barrios and Powers agreed that you can feed your family healthy meals without breaking the bank, if you know how to shop. Last Saturday, the two teamed up to go shopping at the Somerville Market Basket, 400 Somerville Ave., to get some idea for tasty, nutritious meals on a budget. Where do you buy your food? Know about any bargain markets? Post it on our blog. Besides his crusade against Fluff, Barrios has a background in nutrition.
