Whole Foods in a Whole Lot of Trouble

Whole Foods is not a "Health Food Store" -- most of the products, especially in the prepared foods section, are extremely high in fat and sodium. They even use high-fructose corn syrup in some of their sauces. WF never had the guts to stop selling imports from China although Trader Joe's did. Buy Xmas candy canes at WF and you're getting nothing but marked-up Chinese junk. The risk of bacterial contamination in many foods is higher than average due to excessive handling in order to fake out the customer as if all food were made in the store "fresh daily" as printed on labels even though most food is shipped from centralized kitchens and re-wrapped without modern safety seals. When WF sold beef with e.coli it said "Oh my, we didn't know we were doing business indirectly with Nebraska Beef" ... Shouldn't SOMEONE know at WF prices? I'm certain they did. WF also sells mostly conventional - NOT organic - products - and sells numerous brands containing GMOs. WF supplements are mostly anti-science quackery with high markup. I ask, when it comes to your health, should you believe someone who has dedicated their life to medical science, or the college flunkie that works at your local WF ?
