Even more overpriced than their stock is their merchandise. Seems that if you slap an organic sticker on something that gives you the right to double or triple the price. There is no proof that organic foods are healthier than non-organic foods.
In our area Whole Foods seem no diffrent than Democrat Party HQ. All the Priuses with BHO bumperstickers in the parking lot. A huge gathering spot for all of the local liberals and environmental extremists.
I like that they try and use local produce, in our store the organic is only about 10% more.
And merchandise? Why would you buy that at a market?

Sounds like the Whole Pay Check in our area.
We shop at some of the stores around Whole Pay Check, and enviral whacko warriors are all ways around Whole Pay Check trying get signatures for some enviral whacko program.
One day there were 3 of them, and they were aggressive. I told them I never sign petitions on sidewalks as they end up costing me tax $’s.
One of the thugs got upset, and challenged me. I asked him why in Californiacator land did they need any enviral petitions, when they had Moonbeam as governor, both legislative bodies in Sacaremento and the president in their pockets. He actually grinned and stepped away.
Many times the “organic” produce is cheaper than non-organic at the HEB Stores in Houston.

Bingo! A simple sticker boosts profits. It no wonder that their share price is up about 12-fold since its November 2008.
That’s a business model you have to love. ;)
But as long as people are gullible enough to buy it, it's not over-priced.
