Whole Foods, health care and the Virgin of Guadalupe
2009-09-02 15:00:00 I read what the CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, wrote against government funding of health care in The Wall Street Journal, and I too had my doubts about whether to boycott Whole Foods.But a friend enticed me to check out the new Whole Foods at 1550 N. Kingsbury Ct. in Lincoln Park.Now I generally avoid what some people call "Whole Paycheck" and I tend to shop at the Trader Joe's in Oak Park, which is closer to home for me and less expensive. But the new Whole Foods is just impressive for what you can find in the 75,000 square foot space. I love the food court that honors food from Chicago neighborhoods like Pilsen tacos and pasta from...
Facebook,Twitter, Flickr & YouTube Boycott Whole Foods
2009-08-29 23:18:00 Labeled A-Hole Foods by some, an army of bloggers have taken to full battle gear ever since John Mackey's op-ed appeared in the Wall Street Journal on August 12, 2009. Triggering significant backlash, Whole Foods may have a hard time overcoming a social media nightmare spurred on by their leader.

2009-08-22 21:18:00 Left-wing complainers notwithstanding [link Malkin], those who have read Whole Foods CEO John Mackey’s Wall Street Journal Op-Ed proposing alternatives to Obamacare know that he neither maligns the President nor pushes for the election of any candidate. He merely puts forward “eight reforms that would greatly lower the cost of health care for everyone”. And yet ...

Organic gains at Whole Foods (WFMI)
2009-04-28 14:00:00 "We think there’s enormous potential for profit as Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFMI) recovers from its deeply oversold position," says Mike Cintolo. Here's the latest from The Cabot Top Ten."Whole Foods is the fourth-largest grocery store operator in the U.S., a rank it’s achieved, among far older competitors, by competing not on price but on quality. "In particular, Whole Foods has succeeded by satisfying shoppers’ demand for healthy, earth-friendly organic foods."Revenues have grown every year since the company was founded in Austin, Texas, in 1980 and profits have grown too, until 2006 when profit margins began to contract from above 3%–huge in the grocery business–to a low of 1.0% in the third quarter of 2008."Now the margins are expanding again. Analysts’ estimates are on the rise. And the future is bright. We have no expectations that the rate of growth of the company’s early years...

Whole Foods Market Shopping Tips
2008-05-02 02:38:00 How to Shop at Whole Foods MarketThe merger of Whole Foods Market with Wild Oats highlights the benefits and drawbacks of this organic retail giant. Although Whole Foods Market certainly provides a "feel good" shopping experience for millions of consumers, it's important to keep in mind that WFM isn't nearly as green as it pretends to be. But of course, for many consumers, Whole Foods Market offers the only access for green and organic products. If Whole Foods Market is the only option available in your area, here are some important tips for the organic-minded shopper:Tips For Shopping At Whole Foods MarketLook for locally grown produce: Whole Foods offers only a limited supply of local produce, although it is well labeled. Reduce the burden of long-distance food transportant on the planet by asking your WFM produce manager to stock more local produce. Not everything is as "natural" or "organic" as you might think: Although Whole Foods doesn't carry products with trans fats or ar...
Whole Foods or Whole Paycheck?
2008-04-26 02:21:00 A lot of people jokingly refer to Whole Foods Market as Whole Paycheck because it's so easy to spend a lot of money there. I admit to having spent too much money there in the past. It's so easy because Whole Foods is like Disneyland for health food junkies. There are so many pretty packages of things without high fructose corn syrup, trans fats, pesticides, and dyes that it's hard to resist the temptation to buy. Over time, I've figured out which products I can buy at a "regular" grocery store and which foods I can only find at Whole Paycheck. I also frequent a smaller health food store chain in my area called Lassen's, but they often have moldy food on the shelves and the prices are generally higher than Whole Foods. I buy a lot of my produce at a local organic farmstand that has wonderful, freshly picked organic fruit and vegetables. There are also plenty of farmer's markets in my area. Some supermarkets in the area like Vons and Ralphs are now carrying a lot...

My Whole Foods Addiction - Full Blown!!!
2008-04-20 19:54:00 Oh. Me oh my. I thought I had it licked, or at least in control. Thursday past, I discovered the Whole Foods Market on Houston St. and Ave A (?) in The Village. I was down there looking for a dread stylist I found on the net, since I'm rocking dreads now. Anyways, as I was walking up Houston, trying to find the address of this dread diva, there before my eyes it rose up from the concrete...WHOLE. FOODS. MARKET!!!!O.M.G.!!! Ok, you all know I'm a fiend for that place! Here I was on a whole other mission, and out of nowhere I'm greeted by this lovely surprise! :DSo, I went in and completely luxuriated in my WF fixation, still tickled to death by the unexpectedness of it all. Too delicious! The one on Houston is sooooo big, and it's nice and relaxed down there, instead of crowded like the one on 14th St. I languished among the aisles, perusing the new offerings, and seeing what other culinary delights on hand I could possibly get myself into. I left with two gorgeous little s...

Why I'm Still So In Love...With Whole Foods Market

I should become their damn spokesperson, I'm so into them. Every time I stop by, there's something else there that delights me, and ends up coming home with me.

Jurlique + Whole Foods = Happy Face!

Also noticed that they gave their packaging a face lift... and I'm actually liking it! Before, it used to be very basic - white bottles and tubes with blue writing. Now, it's a little more girly - still basic, but prettier.Jurlique is known for using all-natural ingredients like plants, flowers and herbs to create the most gentle and nourishing products on the market! I call it, high-end organic (Michelle Pfeiffer is a fan and she's got damn good skin)!Their Calendula Cream ($32.00) is an oldy but goody (I wrote about it ages ago as a weekly must-have)! Sooooo soothing and it smells au natural! Calendula is used to soothe irritated skin.... it's also great as a moisturizer for sensitive skin (like me!) as it is non-greasy yet extremely hydrating. Every beauty whore should have some calendula cream in her cosmetic's drawer (or closet)!If Jurlique's Calendu...

2007-09-27 23:12:00 The 55,000 square-foot Whole Foods Market has just opened today at 27th and Harrison and brings good news and the promise of reviatalization to an area that has been waiting for both for too long. I was given a tour of the new place one day before its opening by Jolyn Bibb, Marketing Specialist of Store Openings for Whole Foods.

2007-07-30 17:15:00 There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the recent behavior of John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods. For those of you not familiar with the whole story, Mackey thought it would be a good idea to post to an anonymous stock message board about Whole Foods, the company for which he is the CEO, protected only by the anonymity of an anagram of his wife's name. Why is that wrong? Well, have you ever heard of Regulation FD? He didn't go through the proper channels to release news to the public. And, releasing information to pump up your sto

Whole Foods and Anya Hindmarch's "I'm Not a Plastic Bag": July 18th Launch
2007-07-18 14:00:00 So I met a friend for lunch yesterday at the Columbus Circle Whole Foods...where I was reminded about the Anya Hindmarch stateside launch of her "I'm not a plastic bag" bags through the Whole Foods Market. Like other things (Facebook) I was trying to avoid the "INAPB" tote trend. I think these were released and sold out the same day at AH's NYC store locations a month ago (I wasn't in the city, nor was I terribly interested) and, while I believe this is a lovely sentiment and I'm happy that people are getting hip to being environmentally responsible...I somehow doubt that if this really were an awakened consciousness to responsible behaviour that it would really necessitate near-rioting for ONE PARTICULAR BAG. Why not any cool canvas bag, take your pick, the MET, Museum of Natural History, Bloomies, the plain Blick art tote or crafters version, or my favourite the LL Bean tote (with your initials, ohhhh) heck why not just the Whole Foods canvas bag that already exists.

Cramer Buys Whole Foods Market (WFMI) High and Sells Low
2007-07-12 23:50:00 Apparently this has been Jim Cramer's stategy for trading Whole Foods Market (WFMI) stock: Buy High, Sell Low. Lately, he has been consistently negative on the stock after being burned by a long stretch of disappointing quarters calling the stock a "bearish story" citing multiple contraction and slowing growth. He has called it too risky and too expensive. After a disappointing quarter at the beginning of 2006, Cramer was right back on the wagon with Whole Foods Market (WFMI) proclaiming that it had "paid its dues" on April 18, 2006 and recommending it all the way to June 2006 when he called it secular growth story. Since then, though, WFMI no longer has a nosebleed multiple and its attempt to buy smaller rival Wild Oats Markets (OATS) may be blocked by the Federal Trade Commission. Thankfully, though, viewers of Mad Money have missed WFMI's precipitous slide to the high 30's from 55 when Cramer abandoned it in July 2006.

Natural SkinCare Podcast with Whole Foods
2007-07-01 02:42:00 With 195 stores in North America and the United Kingdom, Whole Foods Market is dedicated to being a leading retailer of natural and organic foods. Having recently made a very conscious effort to eat healthier and read food labels more carefully, I was surprised to learn of some other great things that Whole Foods is doing.Whole Foods has devoted a large section of their website to Whole Body. What's Whole Body about? Well, their website says that:"We believe that the quality of body care products and wellness supplements is as important as the quality of food. So every one of our stores includes a Whole Body department and ? just as for our food ? all our thousands of health and beauty products must meet stringent standards before we let them in."I loved browsing this section and learning so much about taking better care of myself. But one item that was of special interest to me was their podcast. Each month, leading experts discuss topics concerning taking better care of your body...
