There are several parts of the value chain that create natural and organic goods:
Individual organic farmers, who you largely cannot invest in. Producers of organic foods, who take farmer's goods and combine them for consumption. This includes players like�Hain Celestial (NASDAQ:HAIN),�SunOpta, and�Lifeway Foods. Grocers with a focus on natural and organic goods, which originally included�Whole Foods (now owned by Amazon),�Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM), and�Natural Grocers -- what I refer to as "pure-play," which are grocers with a sole focus on organic. But the list now includes big names like�Kroger�(NYSE:KR),�Costco�(NASDAQ:COST), and�Walmart�(NYSE:WMT). Distributors specializing in natural and organic food, primarily�United Natural Foods.When the Great Recession hit, many of these pure-play natural and organic companies (read: not Costco, Walmart, or Kroger) were devastated. Consumers were pinching pennies and unwilling to pay the extra money for organic fruits.

The disruption has come from the confluence of several factors, including the rise of craft/natural foods, low-cost private label brands, and the advent of e-commerce. The new generation of more health-conscious, yet budget-constrained consumers, has put traditional consumer packaged goods brands in a tough spot. On the high-end, these brands are being crowded out by healthier, more natural alternatives, while huge retailers have come out with high-quality private label brands, such as Costco's (NASDAQ: COST) Kirkland brand and Kroger's (NYSE: KR) Simple Truth, which are often priced below CPG rivals.�

When it comes to raw read and write speeds 3D XPoint is much closer, almost identical to, regular NAND memory. In the tests performed by Linus Tech Tips, a popular YouTube hardware review channel, Intel's (INTC) Optane drives which use the same 3D XPoint technology scored roughly 2GB/s read and write speeds, which is inline with the latest Samsung (OTC:SSNLF) NAND SSDs.
