I'm not mixed about this, not at all. Whole Foods should have defended the program. The food is from a Colorado prison instead of being shipped from overseas. So, it's contributing to the US economy while teaching a job skill to US citizens, which should help them adapt when they leave prison. It's an easy source to monitor.
If Whole Foods can't defend that program, they've lost their way. They didn't make their name by being all things to all people.
