You Will Not Believe This

Hi Everyone:

Again, just when you thought you have heard every type of lack of common sense person or business, today's story certainly should win the award. You will not believe this story about Whole Foods, but it is true.

Whole Foods is a national food specialty chain that prides itself in selling only natural and organic foods. Prior to this story, I have always questioned the legitimacy of businesses calling their products natural and/or organic. Whole Foods has proven me right. Whole Foods is selling organic vegetables. Where are the veggies in those products grown? California?...... nope, The United States?...........nope, Mexico?..........nope, anywhere in South America?........nope, Europe?.........nope. Give up? The veggies are grown in China. Yes China!? That's the country that can't even produce children's toys without some kind of toxins in it. Yes, the country that seems to manufacture almost everything this country needs, but their products are inferior to any product made elsewhere in the world. Yes, the country that buys our old "recycled" computers, monitors, tv's etc., etc., and then dumps them in huge piles in different villages where residents are paid to take them apart for their valuble metals, including toxic metals.

Yes, Whole Foods is selling what they call organic vegetables. One item was even called California Vegetables. But all of the veggies are grown in China. The packaging even says, in small print, "Product of China". Verifying that the vegetables were grown organically without the use of pesticides seems highly unlikely. With all the other issues, problems and poisoning that China has had with their products, who would want to have China grow anything and then sell it in this country? It is painfully obvious that Whole Foods didn't use any common sense at all in their decision to buy vegetables grown in China. You can bet the house that I won't be buying food products that are grown in China. I now have to be more vigilent in reading product info including where the product was grown. Who knew?
