Amazon purchased Whole Foods for $13.7 Billion

[unaided]

I'm worried about the quality of the food....it's never good when a big corp takes over something so valuable like food.

I disagree, it is distribution and logistics of the food made by others, dictated by the market interest....at lower cost thanks to imoroved distribution and logistics.

Yep I think Amazon will only be a very good thing for the grocery industry for consumers. A lot of these subpar grocery chains that have survived for years just because they are a food source will quickly have to improve and adapt or die.

As for the deal, at what point does Amazon get an anti-trust looksie?

Amazon is getting too big and the government is talking about it

AMZN is one of my favorite options to strangle, this however, makes me a bit worried to be short when (or if) this gains steam.

Yet another example of the consequences of ignoring the Commandment of Control. I feel bad for Valerie and her gourmet food line, but she should have seen this coming.
