"A Shoppers’ Rebellion at Whole Foods" - Prescriptions Blog - NYTimes.com
It's interesting to see the ineffectiveness of new media in reaching more of the Whole Foods shopper market. I would have expected a much higher knowledge level; whether more would follow a boycott is another mater, but I am surprised that so many cusotmers seem to be unaware of the controversy after two weeks of fairly widespread and frequent mention. What does that say our evolving ability to communicate about food and non-food subjects?

Never Ending Pasta Bowl - Olive Garden
Where is the calorie and nutrition information for these dishes? Where does it talk about the calorie impact of using the "never ending" offer?
After nearly a dozen "clicks", I found it - at least it is here but I would guess that less than 1% of their customers ever get this far or maybe even care. There is, however, no portion size given, making the whole thing valueless.
