Tomorrow (Friday) at 3PM, the South Street Whole Foods will be hosting Food, Inc. director Robert Kenner to discuss his new film. Food, Inc., a documentary about the American food industry and its shady practices, will gross you out, anger you, then inspire you to grow a rooftop garden. The film points the finger at food manufacturers and vendors, claiming that if we only knew what went into making and selling the food we eat, we wouldn’t eat it anymore. We commend Food, Inc. for trying, but if all of those PETA videos and pamphlets didn’t do it, we don’t know what will. But is Whole Foods really immune to Food, Inc.‘s stunning rebuke? Sure, their food is organic and they have a really cool green headquarters in Texas but the last time we checked, they are still marketing Fair Trade Coffee to the educated upper-middle class like a Sally Struthers Save The Children commercial. We can all expect to pay more for organic produce, but Whole Foods thinks we won’t notice if they go and charge more for everyday items too. So there’s that. Meanwhile, the hope is that you’ll exempt Whole Foods from any wrongdoing and boycott every other supermarket that isn’t affectionately known as Whole Paycheck.








If a pseudo-terrorist organization like PETA is your criterion for guidance and reverence, then your entire organization and everything you publish is HIGHLY suspect. You aren’t any better than the people you assocaite with and praise.

Why do you think there is a superfresh across the street?
