I also wrote Whole foods in response to this article and they sent me the same email as the previous post. As well as a link to a blog post on their website, in response to the rumors that have been spreading.
Hey! I wanted to reply to you specifically because I know how confusing organic vs not can be! First of all, definitely make sure it says "certified organic" - a lot of packaging can fool you! I am often fooled, and I have to really read it, and it'll have every natural phraseology in the book on it except for "certified organic". So really read (seems obvious, but it's not. They are working to trick you, so even long time organic eaters have to really read) - and another huge tip! Anything certified organic has a PLU number that starts with "9" - even if the product says "organic" and it doesn't have this PLU number, it's not really organic. That has helped me so much! Hope it helps you!
of ties between Monsanto and WF rears it's ugly head again. Believe it or not we are all tied to eachother and many of us have skewed views on the topics which truly matter. Next time I have an issue with a major corporation, I will write to them, and no matter the response (provided "They" do) I will take they are telling me the absolute truth, and know that they have my best interest at heart. All grocery chains provide labeling on items so customers who want to avoid GMOs can do so.
USDA ORGANIC is a popular alternative. Our country currently does not require GMO foods to be labeled ofd. So when working closely with their suppliers to "avoid" the "intentional" use of GMOs, what happens in the case of "accidental contamination?" Avoid is a good word to know. So is submission. Because that is exactly what WF is doing in this situation. Monsanto is literally killing the earth, us. WF has decided to end the fight against the implementation of Roundup Ready Alfalfa, and is now asking monsanto for compensation. This gesture may skew the view of a few. There are bigger issues at hand besides the supposed inaccurate reporting.
No mater how old the article may be, it is still relevant and true. The link you suggested, though informative, is not the main focus of this piece. This article was sourced, meaning that excerpts were taken from another print that resulted in this publishing. They posted the link below the story. It seems as if you bothred not to read it before you posted. Have no fear. Here is the link to the sourced material.
PSYCH!! Go back and you'll find it. You will also see where Monsanto and WF are suggested tied.
Time to reclaim our country before it is too late.
