...matters of import--Iraq, North Korea, terrorism, etc.--the world is as divided as ever. But on matters trivial, people of all colors, cultures and creeds seem to want the same thing: a brainless but catchy chorus and easy-to-learn dance moves. The Ketchup Song (Hey Hah), written and sung by three Spanish sisters known as Las Ketchup, is the latest bit of happy ephemera bringing the world closer. It has reached No. 1 in 18 countries and is taking off on U.S. radio. You will not hear a dumber song this year, but its easy Andalusian vibe...
...confirmation: Lola Muñoz is clearly bonkers. Which is just what her native Spain - and much of the rest of the world - seems to love. Lola, Lucia and their older sister Pilar - all twentysomethings, if you don't count their past lives - are collectively known as Las Ketchup.

The problem for some shoppers--and the charm for others--is that hundreds of the products Whole Foods sells are made by mom-and-pop producers. Few shoppers outside Austin, for instance, know of Boggy Creek Farm, a family-run business whose sun-dried tomatoes and pasta sauces are sold...
Meanwhile, the food industry's giants are expanding their organic efforts. Heinz plans to launch a premium-priced organic ketchup later this summer, and PepsiCo's Frito-Lay division is test marketing natural and organic versions of its snacks. The multinationals have also been snapping up small organic- and natural-foods firms, retooling their offerings and bringing more marketing and distribution savvy to the mix. Since Heinz bought a 19.5% stake in the Hain Celestial Group--a conglomerate that includes Celestial Seasonings teas and Earth's Best organic baby food--the ketchup king has pushed Hain products into...
