Comments on Antione L.'s review of Whole Foods
Description: Natural food store offering locally grown, an unparalleled variety of the best quality organic and natural foods available.
Whole Foods
Whole Foods Market is an abomination of the green business model. Their unsustainable business plan of exponential growth, with the opening of at least 6 in the Bay Area, is unaltered, but aside from that they have created the illusion that eating healthy is for the upper crust of society. The oft heard joke Whole paycheck is not only fitting, it is a definition of the underlying problem of Whole Foods in our shaky, outdated, failing, economy. I am of the idea that this healthy food should be affordable for all. It was before the emergence of factory and or subsidized farming after World War two. Whole Foods strong-arms out local health food co ops in small towns, though whether this is deliberate or not is up for argument. They have, also, in the past cut ties with local producers. It was not till recently that they welcomed back en mass these and more local producers. What forced this shift is actually surprising; Wal-Mart took their major distributors. Their Green Mission is more of a front than a plan of action. Without stating specifics there are people with good hearts who work there, and do live on some level of a green existence, the majority are there for a job, this goes into the upper management. While understandable, it is disheartening. Upper management who have the ability to take BART to their head office in Emeryville would rather drive their Land Rover's than even attempt to restructure their lives in such a small and, arguably, rewarding way. continued in another review by me.
