Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / June 2005Whole Foods Market's lack of ethics
Is Whole Foods in the market of selling food, or in the business of perpetrating fraud, putting forth an image of itself that is paper-thin and a far cry from the truth, in order to get at customers' money? They appear to: feign generosity that masks harsh greed feign friendliness that masks a police-state mentality feign an attention to quality that masks real food dangers feign to care about animals with phoney Foundation feign to be a good employer when really they play dirty http://archives.foodsafetynetwork.ca/animalnet/2004/12-2004/animalnet_dec_31.htm #story2 http://www.wholeworkersunite.org/node/1455 http://www.cdfe.org/whole_foods.htm http://www.mindfully.org/Water/2003/Mercury-Swordfish-Tuna-Shark18jan03.htm http://www.seaturtles.org/actionalertdetails.cfm?actionAlertID=55 Are they just another stereotypically unethical Texas-based company? | [screed deleted] | | Are they just another stereotypically unethical Texas-based company?

This only reaffirms my original statement in you're other dumbass post.

You only make personal attacks because you can't win a debate based on facts. You give respect to a nasty Texas based company where none is due. http://archives.foodsafetynetwork.ca/animalnet/2004/12-2004/animalnet_dec_31.htm #story2 http://www.wholeworkersunite.org/node/1455 http://www.cdfe.org/whole_foods.htm http://www.mindfully.org/Water/2003/Mercury-Swordfish-Tuna-Shark18jan03.htm http://www.seaturtles.org/actionalertdetails.cfm?actionAlertID=55 > You only make personal attacks because you can't win a debate > based on facts.

Guess who fired him... > Is Whole Foods in the market of selling food, or > in the business of perpetrating fraud, putting forth [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > feign to care about animals with phoney Foundation > feign to be a good employer when really they play dirty I have lived in Texas and have been an almost daily customer of Whole Foods for 25 years. During this time I have become very well acquainted with many of their workers. With very few exceptions I have found them to love their work and to have little but good to say about the way their work activities are managed. Funny that no real dirt has come to the surface in my 25 years of almost daily interaction and acquaintance with Whole Foods staff. > I have lived in Texas and have been an almost daily customer of Whole > Foods for 25 years.

Though few corporations are without flaw, it does seem like your energies would be much better spent directed at corporations that are a bit more worthy of your ire than Whole Foods. > They appear to: > feign generosity that masks harsh greed > Sorta liked you feigned being a paying customer to raid the bins, eh? > Is Whole Foods in the market of selling food, or > in the business of perpetrating fraud, putting forth > an image of itself that is paper-thin and a far cry > from the truth, in order to get at customers' money? What is it with people who get stuck on a corporation and then start rallying against it as if anyone else cares? Must be some sort of disease. It's a business. They are there to make money. Selling food is the means to make money for the business. Grow up.

It seems that your attempt to damage the reputation of Whole Foods by embarking on this cross-posting rant because they got pissed at your freeloading has backfired. It's actually had the opposite effect. Anyone not knowing much about WF will probably come away from reading the thread with the impression that it's a pretty good, albeit a little pricey, store, where you can get some high-end food. I get much better deals shopping at local stores, and I don't see the small stores going away as a result of Whole Foods. I have heard a few stories about Whole Foods, but the bottom line is they are too expensive for me. posted at www.healthcareforums.org > Is Whole Foods in the market of selling food, or > in the business of perpetrating fraud, putting forth snip > They appear to: > feign to be a good employer when really they play dirty We had a friend working there. Last time we talked to him he said it was a good place to work. Tim K. |
