Yep. Made from organic free range cotton.

Interesting. IMO, that selections tends to slip from the pseudoscientific into the quasi-religious.

I shop their because their food and produce actually looks better than the garbage Albertsons sells.


and because they have a lot of other, more unique items that regular grocery stores do not

but I do agree that if you are buying organic box mac & cheese then you are probably an idiot

For one, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are apart of the problem, not the solution. They are reactions to a market demand for healthier food, just as Fox News is a reaction to a demand for a conservative angled news outlet.

GMO's are bad, end of story.

Chemicals on my food are bad, end of story.

Processed foods are bad, end of story.

Feeding animals the opposite of what their intestine tracks are designed to digest is bad, end of story.

the problem is that GMO is such a broad term, there are plenty of things that fall under GMO that no one would consider "bad"

This. Whole Foods is only one piece of an entire industry based on the notion that "natural" and "organic" is not just the best way, but the only way, to be healthy.

I heard walmart owns farms now where they let the fracking industry dump their leftover water to help with the irrigation.

The problem isn't companies like WF, its closed minded individuals.
