I’m not bitchin’ AT you,...I’m just bitchin’ OK? :)
I can’t afford the place...and I’ve brought boxes and bags for my grocery goods for DECADES before Whole Foods got their first clue. We have one in Madistan and I’ve cruised it a time or two with friends who are easily impressed.
Over-priced, IMPORTED designer foodstuffs. Think Whole Foods will reveal what they spend in shipping costs that negatively effect ‘The Environment’ to get their precious “organic produce” or “cage free eggs” or “designer” goat cheeses into your cart? That stuff is shipped in from far, far away. The majority of it is not locally grown, though at one point, back when the company had a soul, they did by local market raspberries from us. ;)
Piffle, I say! And I grow my own. I’ve gardened organically for 20 years. I keep laying hens. And I can’t stand goat cheese, after milking goats all summer as a kid and indentured servant on my Aunt’s farm, LOL!
Believe me, Whole Foods wouldn’t be doing this if it cost them dime-one to their bottom line; their shareholders wouldn’t HEAR of it! It’s a business first...and your “feelings” that you are “doing good” by shopping there is strictly marketing.
These people annoy me to no end. It’s ALL marketing, FRiends. Don’t be a sap.
You just bypass the egg, and go straight to the hen?
“I keep laying hens.”
Sounds painful.
I have shopped at the Whole Foods here, in Birmingham, many times although I prefer our local grocer for most things. Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck) is a nice store, but you can’t do all of your shopping there. However, when asked I always insist on a paper bag. Plastic bags suck. If the eco-weenies don’t want paper (it is recycled by the way) let them buy some of the reusable cloth bags there at the store.
We should conserve things where we can in the Teddy Roosevelt fashion and we should be good stewards where we can. The eco-weenies have never gotten it because liberals don’t believe in personal responsibility.
ditto! hooray for you. i grew up on a farm too.
i lived in austin for a year and observed their worshippers
shopping at whole foods.
they’re all posh, upscale leftists and their wannabees.
the wannabees don’t have the money that the others have
and they’re left holding the bag, so to speak.

Cynic. :)
I agree.
