Oh, Whole Foods, how I love to trash thee.
Whole Foods Market has terrible food safety advice, blames consumers for getting sick, sells raw milk in some stores, offers up fairytales about organic and natural foods, and their own CEO says they sell a bunch of junk.
Carrie Brownstein writes on the Whole Foods blog site today that the Whole Foods Market Responsibly Farmed logo means that the product meets our strict Whole Foods Market Quality Standards for Aquaculture. The logo also means that the product has been third-party verified to ensure our standards are being met.
Doing my best Seinfeld, where can I buy the Irresponsibly Farmed seafood? And what’s up with third-party audits? Peanut Corporation of America was audited by third parties. If Whole Foods customers are that gillable/gullible to pay a premium, then sure. I’ll stick with farmed fish. The regular kind.
