Description: Natural food store offering locally grown, an unparalleled variety of the best quality organic and natural foods available.
Whole Foods
Part Two Of Review- To go further in this critique, CEO and founder John Mackey is a radically anti-labor fellow. As is most of the tide these days. He has likened unions to Ants and has shut down stores who have attempted to Unionize. He has hired Union-busting lawyers to quell any sort of formal organizing. (See www.wholeworkersunite.org for more information) Also, some short asides, the Organic standard they pioneered as legislative law favors their colossal economic situation. The smaller outlets of local stores cannot compete. The people in the deli, who cook all day, are not allowed to take home the extra food they cook. They are forced to throw it out (in the compost bins) all the food that could better feed their families. The argument for this is Health Regulations. However, dented cans are sold for 10cents, as well as open cereal boxes and health supplements. Day old pastries are also done in this 10cent fashion in the back. The malady that Whole Foods perpetuates goes further and deeper than anything I could summarize here. They do accomplish some good in the communities they serve. But Whole Foods is not the be all and end all of the Organic food movement. Please I plead support your local health food store or farmers market. Thank you.
