you are so right John. I've been getting chickens and ground beef at whole foods for ages now. For meat, there is a big different between what you get at wf and the average chain grocery store. the meat at our local Shaw's/Star market makes me want to barf, it smells and tastes terrible. wf isn't as good as premium meat brands like Brandt, but it's close.

I can say that the way I made these meatballs, they were super light and tender-soft, like little sponge cakes. think beef flavored twinkies. they came out great.
