We sell a bunch of junk, says Whole Foods boss John Mackey

This is an interesting statement from Whole Foods boss John Mackey.

Mackey told the Wall Street Journal: “Basically, we used to think it was enough just to sell healthy food, but we know it is not enough. We sell all kinds of candy. We sell a bunch of junk.” He said the store would now attempt to educate in the ways of healthy eating: “There will be someone in a kiosk to answer questions, they’ll have cookbooks and health books, there will be some cooking classes. It will be about how to select food, because people don’t know.” – from Guardian

    I have to agree with John. I’ve been going to Whole Foods here in Austin since it was a little house on 12th st. Now that they rule the natural foods world…

    The smoothies aren’t the same and the last tofu I had from the hot foodbar was cold…

    I miss that loving feeling Whole Foods…now that you’re making billions we have lost our connection.

    John, I miss our home town store that is no more…
