White people need organic food to survive, and where they purchase this food is as important as what they purchase. In modern white person culture, Whole Foods has replaces churches and cathedrals as the most important and relevant buildings in the community.

There are some regions that do not have Whole Foods, but do have an abundance of white people (college towns), in these situations Whole Foods can be substituted with a local co-op grocery store where you have to pay a membership to shop there.

All of these stores are pretty much the same – lots of vegetables, grain fed free range meat and eggs, and soy everything. They are also characterized by an outrageously large section of vitamins, supplements, and natural oils. There are natural, handmade soaps which give these stores a unique and uniform smell.

Many white people consider shopping at Whole Foods to be a religious experience, allowing them feel good about their consumption. The use of paper bags, biodegradable packaging, and the numerous pamphlets outlining the company’s police on hormones, genetically modified food and energy savings. This is in spite of the fact that Whole Foods is a profit driven-publicly traded corporation that has wisely discovered that making white people feel good about buying stuff is outrageously profitable.

As you walk through Whole Foods/Co-op you will see white people pushing carts buying things like Flaxseed Oil, wine, Tofu versions of meat, and organic kohlrabi. They also provide prepared foods, that single white people often purchase to avoid cooking.

This is important information, as this section of the store is loaded with single white people.

These stores are excellent for bringing children, as there is nothing that they actually want.

“Oh, mommy, look chocolate!”

“No Joshua, that’s carob.”

“I want it.”

“Ok.”

The child will then take a bite and realize that nothing in the store can be trusted.

This is the one place I sort of disagree with the list. While Whole Foods is important, Trader Joe’s is the church of white.


 
 

Such a very white response of you, Lisa.


 

yeah i pity us fools out here who eat “conventional food”.


 

My husband and I joke that Whole Foods should be called Whole Paycheck…because that is what you spend there for a week’s worth of groceries.


 

In my neighborhood, it’s whiter than rice in Whole Foods, not least because their produce costs double to quadruple the price of other chains.


 

Whole Food takes Food Stamps and that’s awesome for this white girl.

Mrs. Greens–if any of you are familiar DOES NOT.
Now that’s being elitist.


 

There was an excellent article in the NY Times magazine regarding the very scary entrance of Walmart into organics. It must be archived if you’re interested.

Walmart has LOTS of lobbyist’s and no ethics whatsoever. They’ve been doing everything in their power to change the definition of “organic.”

We live in a capitalistic society. So what that Whole Foods makes money. They should! At least they do it with far more integrity and transparency than other company’s. I think they’re fabulous and they’ve been on the “best company to work for” list forever.

If there is truly an integrity problem with your team leader talk to the Store Manager. Don’t be a part of the problem be a part of the solution. Getting negative is not proactive and you’ll lose site of what your true intention is–I think to keep your job. Right?

I never heard of Whole Foods firing people who have been there for a long time. This is the first. Most employees that I’ve spoken to are very happy to be there. Sorry your experience hasn’t been positive.

Why the white people thing? Must be the area your store is in. Clearly you have not been to New York where people of all colors worship good health. :)
