The thing that irks me is that with the WHole Foods buyout... WF is in cohoots with the Humane society. If you know anything about that Wayne Purcelle guy and the HS, they are NOT for animals. And they want to be able to dictate what is defined as 'animal cruelty'. This applied to the livestock industry is BAD.

Is Amazon getting too big?

'Slice Intelligence estimates that Amazon has about 20% of the online grocery market. '

'In most of the areas Amazon has recently entered, be they groceries or streaming video or India, Amazon is far from dominant. '

'That compares with 40% of users for Amazon Prime Video, 25% for Hulu, and 6% for YouTube Red, according to research from The Diffusion Group. '

'Walmart currently has about 14% of the grocery market, according to GlobalData Retail, with Kroger next at 7%. '

'SAN FRANCISCO – When Amazon made a bid for Whole Foods earlier this month, a company that's been a huge but largely online presence for consumers suddenly seemed to be everywhere, raising the question, "Is it getting too big?"'
