Whole Foods in a Whole Lot of Trouble

I am getting tired of magazines and other news journals telling people to stay away from Whole Foods during these hard times. People still pay for expensive clothing, makeup, tech gadgets, and such, and they should be continuing to put money into their health and the health of their families and cut back on the luxuries. Good health is not a luxury, and you can't enjoy other things if you feel like crap. Sadly, New York magazine posted an article comparing Whole Foods to a couple other grocery chains and Costco, and they did price comparisons on same products. So, if Progresso chicken soup cost $1.69 at a regular grocery store, then it was shown as $1.97 at Whole Foods. Guess what? Whole Foods does not contain Progresso soup, or Duncan Hines cake mix, or Fruit Loops, etc. They should have said that they were comparing similar products. I would rather pay $.30- 1.00 more at Whole Foods per item and know I am getting natural, healthy, clean ingredients for my body instead of artificial additives, like coloring and flavors, and MSG, so that article was very deceiving, and very wrong. I also want to point out that Whole Foods has many more affordable private label items now, so anything from canned tomatoes, soups, dairy products, eggs, frozen meals, pasta, tofu, almost anything, you can find it under the Whole Foods brand name (listed as 365, 365 Organic, and other Whole Foods brand names). People need to pay more attention to their health and what Whole Foods has to offer. You can find very high quality foods, health care, vitamins/supplements, body care items, etc., all under the Whole Foods name at very reasonable prices. One other tip- stick with organics, not for everything, but for the important things, like spinach, berries, apples, and tomatoes. You will save money buy buying organic items only when necessary. Do your research, keep yourself healthy, and when you find out how great you feel, you will be cheerful, calm, peaceful, and able to clearly see why purchasing that next pair of Chanel shoes is insane, and your health is so much more important.
