Whole Foods Brand Organics Grown in China

I was just telling someone the other day that I really think that is more challenging to be healthy than my mother’s generation.  One of the  obvious reason of course is that my mother’s generation did not have the processed food that was introduced to my generation. Unfortunately some family’s today may not even sit down to many family meals where  meals  are made from scratch and actually started with real wholesome food rather than food contacts made from chemicals.

And sometimes we shop at these places with a “righteous smugness” as we think that we are not picking up mac and cheese and hotdogs for the kids but rather  getting ” healthy food”. However, I have learned from experience that just because it is in the health food store that it may not be  healthy after all.  You really do need to read the labels carefully to make sure that it is indeed healthy. However, there are times that a company may not want you to see everything such as Whole Foods.

A friend of mine from Austin sent me the video below on Whole Food brand organics. Shockingly it shows their 365 brand organics are make in China…and ironically enough their California Vegetable Blend. You will see that Chinese  Organic is  not the same definition as our definition of organic. And then you may have to rethink their store signs that are posted around the store saying we buy locally.

Maybe we should all plant a garden…or at least some tomatoes in pots….so we can remember what a real tomato taste like. If you knew how those beautiful vine tomatoes  are grown that you see in the store you may think twice about their nutrition content. I will save that for another post called:  The Tale of Two Tomatoes.
