re shaw's - I totally agree about it being less then Star, but as far as fish goes (and I don't buy fish there for other reasons) they at least try to buy from sustainable supplies (at least as far as Collapse by Jared Diamond goes). Still, I don't see myself ever buying fish from Shaw's.
And whole foods, I think the quality of Bread and Circus was way better. The big beefs with whole foods go with thier desire to say close the co op in central since it competes directly with them and the not so good ways they present some of their in house products (ie letting you think something is organic when it isn't). And they do have a high markup for the same produce as say a shaw's (they have very little organic produce there anymore, which was one of the main reasons I went there)
In general though, I like whole foods, I should have used better wording as some of it may be questionable, but on the whole, they are better then most supermarkets. Especially when it comes to community outreach and employees.
