Whole Foods Full of Deceit and Insincerity

Whole Foods and its ownership is a disservice in disguise. They're getting rich on a policy of deceit and insincerity. If you're really into healthful food and know what you're looking for, Whole Foods is lip service at best. We've shopped there and have had one negative experience after another. The store has overcharged us, put the wrong meat in the right wrapping, lied about the origin of its fish (claiming that farm raised was really from the ocean), sell their own label that disguises where the hell the food comes from, sells buffet food that's from a big food handler ala Marriott or Servomation, offers milk and dairy that is NOT organic because the company is cheating (see the Organic Consumers Association newsletters for more), offers coffee that is not labelled organic in their deli (but the counter people say it's organic), features margarine in their baked goods and is unclear on which items are organic. Further, we've had produce people tell us that the "9" at the beginning of the organic labelling "doesn't really mean anything," so we've found non organic mixed with the pesticide stuff. Whole Foods is designed to make big money for the money grubber at the head of the firm. His tactics are big time corporate Republican which amounts to the average person getting screwed. He has no respect for his customers because he's not into organics. I hope the guy chokes on his own greed and pretense. On top of it all Whole Foods is trying to create a monopoly in an already shaky marketplace.On Michael Pollan and Whole Foods guy go head to head posted 2 years, 4 months ago 3 Responses
