  On Thursday, November 20, on Whole Foods Giving Day, 5 percent of all purchases made at the Capitol Hill store at 900 East 11th Avenue will benefit SAME Cafe, at 2023 East Colfax Avenue. According to the Whole Foods website, that store "has been an integral part of the Denver community since March 1993" -- even if it hasn't always gone by the name Whole Foods. "We proudly offer our customers fresh food and friendly smiles. Business folk stop in for a hot meal from our full service deli,

• The fifth greenest airport in all the land

  Health magazine has proclaimed Denver the fifth healthiest airport, The article on its website highlights Denver's use of solar panels, runway recycling systems and healthy eating options. SinceI couldn't think of any healthy airport eating options (except for the inevitable overripe banana and mushy apples on cafe counters), I gave DIA spokesman Jeff Green a call.

• What burn(ed) my toast

  Recently I had a run-in with some less-than-delicious bacon. After I wrote about it, Sue from Whole Foods posted a comment that I should get in touch. So I did, and Sue Raney, store accountant at the Ideal Market in Boulder (which owned by Whole Foods), made a gracious offer of a gift card. I wasn't sure how this would work out with journalistic standards and all that, but after a lengthy moral debate with myself, I said, "Fuck it, I'm an intern -- I don't have standards!"

• Phil's Fresh wins a fresh loan from Whole Foods

  Boulder-based Phil's Fresh Foods has just won a $96,000 loan from Whole Food's Local Producer Loan Program. Phil's is a wholesale, all-natural burrito manufacturer; its product is stocked by local Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage and Sunflower stores, as well as some King Soopers. Selling at about $2.50 each, this is "not the typical frozen burrito," says Phil's Heather francis. "We make everything from scratch and we really focus on the ingredients and the best

  GoodBelly is growing like the beneficial bacteria -- or probiotic -- that makes your belly feel good. The pet of NextFoods, a Boulder-based health-food company, GoodBelly was recently included in the Los Angeles Examiner's "Top Ten Best Food Product Introductions for 2008." The product was created by Steve Demos, the founder of WhiteWave's Silk soy milk, and Todd Beckman, who worked with Demos at WhiteWave.Goodbelly is made from fruit and the probiotic Lp299v, which has been proven to assist in

  Say what you want about Whole Foods (or "whole paycheck," as its also known), but at least some of your money is going to something worthy. Whole Foods created the Whole Planet Foundation in 2006 to create even better relations with the producers of its products in foreign countries. The foundation does this primarily through the use of microloans -- loans given without collateral or contract, and usually no more than $300 -- so tht the poor can hoist themselves out of poverty with their own sel

  We may be seeing a trend in the competitive small-batch, independently owned ice cream sector of our economy. Two Spoons, an ice cream shop at 1021 Pearl Street in Boulder, just introduced a breakfast-cereal bar -- a concept that mirrors an idea introduced last month at the Red Trolley in Denver's Highland neighborhood. But that's because in less than two months of business, Two Spoons quickly realized that Pearl Street was a little short on quality, quick breakfast options.Two Spoons promises t

  Maybe you know Old Chub because you've had it on tap at Oskar Blues or bought a six-pack of this canned Scottish Ale at the liquor store. Or maybe you've heard the name because you took a momentary leave of your senses and purchased a tube of Old Chub chapstick, perhaps the only beer-flavored lip balm in the nation. Now the Lyons/Longmont-based brewery is giving Coloradans two other ways to enjoy Old Chub: in bread baked specifically for Whole Foods and in hot sauces.

  Mighty Bites HoneyCrunch Kashi Rating: One-and-a-half spoons out of four Cereal description: Lots of different grains in this stuff: oat, wheat, corn, rice, rye, barley -- pretty much everything included in the grain page on Wikipedia other than millet (which is just as well, since I don't know what the hell that is). The pieces come out an industrial light-tan hue and are shaped like little people, complete with a small head, stubby arms and thick-thighed legs. It's cereal as cannibalism --

• Can Modmarket make it at Boulder's Twenty Ninth Street mall?

  Come August, Rob McColgan and Anthony Pigliacamto will open Modmarket at 1700 28th Street in Boulder's flailing Twenty Ninth Street mall, a risky move that is nothing short of roulette, considering the succession of restaurants that have opened, and subsequently shuttered, in that wasteland of chains. But the 2,500-square-foot Modmarket is not a chain, and while it is the first restaurant for McColgan and Pigliacamto, it sounds -- at least from the help wanted ad on Craigslist (general ma

Some of the pieces are a light brown color, while the others are darker and bear the mark of delectable cinnamon sprinkles in both the relatively new original recipe and the even-more-recent "gluten-free" rebranding.

There's whole oats and whole grain wheat, some of it fused together in random wads, like meteorites collecting fragments during the trip through space, other parts shattered into jagged fragments. Add raisins, almonds and rice and the results resemble an explosion at Whole Foods. Oh, the humanity.
