I agree with all of that....ALL true!
I only go there because my wife likes to buy a few (fortunately ONLY a few considering the prices in that store) items there.
Another myth worth exploding: I have yet to see any study at all which proves that organic food is healthier than non-organic food. It seems to me slapping an organic sticker on some item in the store is just an excuse to charge higher prices. So far I think the whole thing is a scam.
Bingo!
No evidence at all. In fact, my favorite is when they shut down a Hole Foods, or a Panera Bread because the bean sprouts just gave everyone salmonella or shinghella.
I see it on the news every once in a while and I nearly spit-take my breakfast cereal (cocoa puffs, of course).
yea its for a few specific items for us too. My wife especially likes the fishmongers because she can get fresher fish (in season) then she can at other places... which being the midwest is already limited. Beyond that maybe a few dry items like soybeans and such.
