Sales in December were up 5.6 percent, year on year, against a 25.6 percent rise a year earlier.
It's a good bet that any industry that is still growing in these economic times is in pretty good shape. Industry watchers suggest that the core organic consumer isn't jumping ship, they're just being more careful with their food dollars.
