Buying natural, organic foods today — our foods today are … there are 370 Whole Foods Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:WFM) going to a thousand. Our products are available in Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT), [Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)], The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR), Babies and Toys R Us, Fareway, where they weren’t five years ago. Canada today, Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro, Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT) opening up. In Europe, throughout Europe, so it’s just more and more distribution out there.

But the more important is how educated consumers are, and it’s interesting, because if I asked you what you eat today, you’re educated about ingredients. You just don’t eat anything, and it’s funny because I love going to stores and looking at carts. And there are always healthy products in carts today, and we’re educated about eating healthy.
