3. This from the same company who's CEO is a climate change denier.
Never again will I buy from them. I tried to overlook the climate thing hoping Whole Foods would be shamed into replacing the crazy CEO but this is beyond.

It's true, who can you trust anymore? Food shopping has become a mine field of tedious label reading and gas wasting travel to get healthy stuff that won't slowly hurt my family. I was relieved when they opened a WF close by because it helped make things a little easier and I was willing to pay more for organic. My local grocer has almost nothing organic and when they do it's never fresh.

It is so frustrating.

6. they also have a lot of non-US produced organics
You can get organic basil really cheap at TJs but it's from Mexico.

8. We don't have one of those here, but we have "Sprouts" and "Sun Harvest"
which both, I think, carry good foods. I'll be checking labels from now on though.

5. Their CEO was forced to resign, but I bet he still gets a shitload of stock dividends each month. nt

11. He was forced to give up his chairmanship of board but he is still
their CEO. Congress introduced legislation last fall disallowing the Chairman of the Board to also be CEO of a company.

10. John Mackey is not just a CEO
He's the co-founder of the company. Way more difficult to disassociate themselves from!
