Whole Foods is Not As Enviro. Kind as Claimed

If you visit theWhole Foods website, you will read their values. Whole Foods purports to have a Commitment to Reducing Single Use Plastics. You can read about their “achievements and ongoing programs that work to reduce plastic across store departments and nourish our planet.” With all due respect to their accomplishments — and there are some — I remain of the opinion that Whole Foods is just as bad — worse, perhaps, if you consider the hypocrisy that they advertise — as any other food store in their continued packaging of products and negative impact on our planet.
