The funny part is the best dietary advice is just "eat a good variety of things and don't eat too much". Going in to Whole Foods makes me want to blow my brains

The funny part is the best dietary advice is just "eat a good variety of things and don't eat too much". Going in to Whole Foods makes me want to blow my brains out.
- finid 10y agoHow come? Food is too expensive?
- zajd 10y agoThe amount of marketing designed to just confuse people about what's good for them. Organic, non-gmo, gluten-free, all natural, it's like a temple for upper middle class white people to reject 50 years of food science.
- superswordfish 10y agoThat woo is everywhere now though. Not sure why you're bringing race into it.
- finid 10y ago> it's like a temple for upper middle class white people to reject 50 years of food science. I wonder what you mean by that... Those designations (organic, non-gmo, gluten-free, natural) have their place. The practice of it is where consumers get cheated.
- superswordfish 10y agoThere are many upsetting things about Whole Foods, but the food there is pretty varied, no?
- rayiner 10y agoWhy? Whole Foods is great. For example, if you're too busy to pack your lunch, there is a great cafeteria where you can get simple food with lots of veggie options at whatever portions you want. The quality of the meat, bread, and produce is a cut above (though I hear it's just par for course in terms of what you can get in "normal" EuropeN grocery stores).
- mathgeek 10y agoI think the complaint is that Whole Foods is selling you the idea that the small subset of "healthy" brands they are promoting is what you should be exclusively eating. They're a great store as far as options, but the Kool-aid they're pouring can be a little annoying at times.
- rayiner 10y agoAre they? I've never seen a Whole Foods commercial or ad.
