Whole Foods’ GMO hypocrisy: Selling out to fake food with Impossible Foods deal
Fake food is now "whole food"?
Good expose recently in naturalhealth365.com

Maybe there was a time when Whole Foods was considered the gold standard for all things healthy, natural, and pure. However, it seems that the ‘crown of goodness’ has been tarnished over the years with shady, behind-the-scenes deception. This time, though, the Amazon-owned grocery chain just slaps us right in the face with a surprising (and alarming) partnership deal . This latest deal raises serious questions about Whole Foods’ commitment to its founding principles and its customers’ trust in its brand.
Fake food giant Impossible Foods recently announced a “highly anticipated” deal with Whole Foods that will begin with the launch of the company’s fake chicken products on Whole Foods’ shelves.
The store isn’t living up to its own standards
This is not the first time the company has been caught in compromising positions. There have been some pretty serious Whole Foods scandals over the years.
“No antibiotics, ever.” Well, maybe a little

Organic by whose standards?

Not so “local” food products
Speaking of deceptive labeling, the “local” products on Whole Foods’ shelves may not be so local after all. The retailer seems to use a very loose definition of the term…
All natural, except …

A shadow supporter of Monsanto?

Whole Foods is not the only girl at the dance. You can do better.

whole foods was nothing but a marketing gimmick. You need to understand the economics on the grocery store business. The one limiting resource for every grocery store is the square feet of the store itself. There is an unlimited choice of products that they could put in that limited space so they measure their performance by looking at gross sales per Sq Ft. Whole foods showed the grocery industry that they could double/Triple sales per SQ FT with the so called organic products. So every chain wanted in on the action Kroger, Walmart etc. There isn't sufficient "organic" goods out there. So its nothing to import something from lets say China or South America and during transit have it bought and sold mulitple times and in one of those transactions it will magically become Organic. If they get caught its just a financial fine a slap on the wrist and right back to doing it again. They were able to take item 1 that cost $1x and by claiming it as organic its cost is now $4X. No one is going to regulate that difference and be effective at it. Finally not a single person has every eaten anything that wasn't organic. Everything you eat is organic.
