BOYCOTT WHOLE FOODS

As I said on Healthcare Intervention this week, I am boycotting Whole Foods. This isn't because of any political reasons or anything like that. Whole Foods as most companies unfortunately do when they become pretty large, they lose focus on what got them there in the first place. They forget their core beliefs and values. Sure, Whole Foods does a good job hiding this, and they present their product very well. But they have been putting profits ahead of their customers health for a while now. For example watch this video on how WF's "California Blend" was actually from China, where inferior quality is the norm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ31Ljd9T_Y 

They also have came out and said that by 2018 they will label all GMO products that they carry in their store. That's great right? Wrong! If WF was really against GMO's wouldn't they just stop carrying them? You can read the article here. http://www.apnewsarchive.com/2013/Whole-Foods-says-products-must-carry-GMO-labeling-by-2018/id-05e5554c4f5343e4bfe73226faca7a96

I am also currently in a debate with WF on twitter. They have stopped responding because they can no longer defend the fact that they use Canola Oil in everything. Not only is around 90% of all Canola on the market GMO, which WF claims theirs ins't. But it is also not safe for Human consumption! GMO or not! Canola developed from rape seed is considered unsuited to human consumption. It contains a long-chain fatty acid called erucic acid, which under some circumstances is associated with fibrotic heart lesions. But guess what...It is extremely cheap! 

The fact is WF doesn't care about your health, they just want you to think they do so you will buy their overpriced products. My advice, shop somewhere else. (And that's coming from a doctor who use to tell his patients, if you bought it at WF it should be fine.)
