'Whole Foods' Caught Selling Unlabeled GMO Food!, page 1

In the Video below, News investigative team uncover the ugly facts about the ‘organic elite’ cooperating with Big Agra, the USDA and even Monsanto, all while deceptively positioning themselves to customers under false premises.



With GMO foods more prevalent and more unpopular than ever, even “organic”-oriented grocery chains have been scrambling to spin the sad truth that genetically-modified ingredients have saturated the market and infiltrated virtually all food brands.

Such is the case with Whole Foods, leader in the organic products market,, who’ve made billions advertising their stores as all ‘natural,’ wholesome and containing ‘nothing artificial ever.’

Just take a look at this mural, painted on the side of one of Whole Foods’ Austin locations:

It brags, ‘Nothing Artificial Ever,’ but the admitted GMO ingredients sold on store shelves could never be considered to be anything but man made frankenfoods.

I think what Psykoops is getting at, is if for those of us that do not have flash installed. A little recap in words of what the video is about would help....

Thanks. Here's the rest of the Article that is posted in that Video's description. ~

These stores are perpetrating a blatant case of false advertising, which Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law defines as, "the crime or tort of publishing, broadcasting, or otherwise publicly distributing an advertisement that contains an untrue, misleading, or deceptive representation or statement which was made knowingly or recklessly and with the intent to promote the sale of property, goods, or services to the public."

Whole Foods has had to admit recently that its shelves are packed with food that contain GMO ingredients, going against their pure image as an all-organic grocer.
Customers are drawn into the vast, attractive store aisles on the premise that they are buying pure, wholesome foods for their families, while the store charges premium 'organic' prices for many products that fall short of expectations.

Numerous health advocates have exposed the deception behind industry marketing under the term "natural," concocted to sound like a synonym for organic foods, grown without pesticides or artificial chemicals, but which actually contain ingredients derived from food-experiments created in the labs of Monsanto, Dupont, Syngenta or other leading biotech firms. There are no regulatory standards for the "natural" food products aimed at health conscious buyers, nor for the hundreds of other unregulated foods containing potentially-deadly GMOs.

If Whole Foods, a respected niche leader in the organic movement, can get away with this massive and lucrative deception, anyone can. Many of us at Infowars are Whole Foods customers, and this is all the more reason why we are taking this issue personally.

We must fight to stop the spread of GMO food products, not give into the massive finance pressure in the biotech industry or false promises of regulatory figureheads long ago bought out by Monsanto and their ilk.

Yet they send security to usher the reporter off their property so that customers can't be informed.

A car dealer sells you a car and the transmission blows out the next day. You come back angry and they say you are out of luck because they posted an ad in the news paper the day before saying the Transmission was failing.

Thats is about as Fair as the press release from Whole Foods!

What PsykoOps is talking about is the video from this thread. www.abovetopsecret.com... YouTube censors 'Organic Spies' video [GMO exposion!!]

This is the undercover video he's talking about.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it's surprising the above video comes out then Whole Foods places that info on their website admitting they carry foods with GMO's. Perhaps that video prompted them to make the statement.

Anyone have a direct link to that Whole Foods information?

The Op's video from Infowars was Great. That gal reporter is Hot. Whats up with that homeless looking guy at 10:40 ? LOL

I found the info on the Whole Foods site. I do believe the info was in response to the Organic Spies video. ( www.abovetopsecret.com... YouTube censors 'Organic Spies' video [GMO exposion!!] )

The WholeFoods website states:

The YouTube video showing our store Team Members giving conflicting responses to a question about GMOs reminds us that while we try to keep all our 70,000 Team Members up-to-speed on the latest information, clearly we need to do more. Some products in our stores DO contain GMOs – just like any other food store in the country, due to the pervasiveness of GMOs – and we need to do a better job of making sure our Team Members understand this so they can provide customers with the facts.

www.wholefoodsmarket.com...

The title of that page is "Let’s talk about GMOs at Whole Foods Market" and has a picture advertising WholeFoods supports proposition 37. I believe this is only damage control. If Whole Foods heart was in it, they would donate to the Proposition 37 effort.

I completely agree with you. I manage one of the biggest Organic Health food stores is San Diego County and have been in the industry for over 15 years. THis has been one of the debates amongst organic grocerers and its up to the people to demand organic foods. Our Health food store is next store to Ralph's and has been in competition with them since 2007 when we both opened at the same time. Ralphs still does 30X more business than we do and it all comes down to educating the people and community about what they are eating. Its amazing how many people have no clue about nutrition, what GMO is even when they have a Organic Health food store right next to Ralphs. Our store is huge, almost as big as Ralph's is. Can't miss it...

Greetings, amy2x,

May I offer up a suggestion toward finding the answer?

Ask the store manager how much Slotting Fees the GMO vendors are paying. Can small vendors afford to pay the required slotting fees?
When Whole Foods bought out Sun Harvest, according to a Sun Harvest employee, the first thing they did was to charge slotting fees.

Guess who ultimately pays the slotting fees? Yep, you and I.
Later

good.

wholefoods recently changed its stance on prop #37 about labelling gmos in CA...most likely due to market pressure - though closer examination reveals that a large portion of their selves are constituted by these anti-labelling 'natural' companies!

∞LOVE
