Whole Foods Promotes Militant Vegetarian Agenda

February 8th, 2010

Whole Foods Markets has launched a nationwide “Health Starts Here” marketing scheme that endorses a lowfat, vegetarian diet, with promises that the diet will “improve health easily and naturally.” The plan promotes the books and private business ventures of Joel Fuhrman, MD, and Rip Esselstyn, both of whom worked with Whole Foods to formulate the new guidelines. Customers now receive a pamphlet urging them to adopt a lowfat, plant-based diet and to cut back or completely eliminate animal foods.  Many Whole Foods stores no longer sell books advocating consumption of meat, eggs and dairy products.

“Animal foods like meat, liver, butter, whole milk and eggs contain ten to one hundred times more vitamins and minerals than plant foods,” says Fallon Morell. “Plant foods add variety and interest to the human diet but in most circumstances do not qualify as ‘nutrient-dense’ foods.”

    Thanks for this article! I’m going to add it to my news list.

  2. Yeah, Whole Foods does suck. Their CEO was against health care reform, they don’t truly support local agriculture and I beleive they have fought hard against unions. I’m sure there is alot more that adds to why they suck, how about another article on Whole Foods. AutonomyAcres.com
    P.S. I once got a free cup of coffee from whole foods, so I guess that was kinda cool.
