Whole Foods Market – Bad for your Health!

The Whole Foods Market grocery chain sells food that will destroy your health, and ultimately kill you.

Whole Foods Market offers a wide variety of organic and natural produce and products.  That might lead you to believe that their food and products are healthier for you.  But this is not so!  A recent study concludes that organic food is NOT healthier for you.

But what is most damning, is that John Mackey, the Chairman/CEO/Co-founder of Whole Foods Market, publicly acknowledged that his company “sells a bunch of junk.”  It is this very “junk” which causes obesity, diabetes, inflammatory conditions, and possibly even cancer.

And to make matters worse, he is publicly opposed to health care reform in America.  He does offer an alternative to real health care reform.  But the alternative he proposes is ineffective and designed to maintain the current state of affairs relative to health care.  I am sure many of the hundreds of thousands of citizens who have lost their jobs and health insurance are NOT happy with the current state of health care.  Hell, I still have a job and I am not happy with it.

So to sum up, this is a Whole Foods Market triple whammy to your health:

1. Organic food is not healthier for you
2. Whole Foods Market “sells a bunch of junk”
3. Whole Foods Market is against real health care reform in America

So quit going to Whole Foods Market!

You will find the organic and natural food selections of both Safeway and Giant more than sufficient.  I do support organic produce and products.  They come without pesticides and other nasty chemicals.  That’s reason enough to buy them.  Just don’t buy them from a company that has decided to align itself AGAINST you, like Whole Foods Market.
