Every month I have the pleasure of contributing to one of the most inspiring food blogs ever called 100 Days of Real Food. In my latest investigation, I cover Whole Foods. Many of you have asked about the recent “Organic Spies” tell-all-video, Whole Food’s refusal to donate to Proposition 37 and what I generally think about shopping there…I answer all those questions along with providing some very startling facts you will probably want to read for yourself.
The full investigation is available here: What to Watch out for at Whole Foods
And for those of you catching up – you might want to check out some of my other investigations…(Some of the information that I uncovered, still unnerves me!)

You are sweet Vani…that means a lot. I find your blog to be very inspiring as well (of course)!
Awe….I want to give you a great big hug right now!!!
Thanks Food Babe!
Vani, I was very thrilled to actually meet you last evening at the dinner event in NYC. You are a true inspiration to me. I believe that I have a very important role to take in all of this GMO labeling in New York State. I do not know yet what my total role is but I will be in contact with the rep from Connecticut that spoke at the dinner and I am sure she can guide me through what I can do. If you have any additional tips on how to get more involved, please let me know. I personally know an editor from Pace University who would like to help in making the younger people know more about GMOs, so I am going to help her in gaining the knowledge that she needs to know. I am up for any suggestions you may have, actually, it is both me and my friend Kathy (the 2 Kathy’s) who will be working together maybe in different ways to help make New Yorkers more aware of the dangers of GMOs and all the foods that contain GMOs. Again, thank you for doing what you do. It was a true pleasure meeting you. Best regards, Kathy Lawrence
I am constantly checking all labels at whole foods for gmo’s secretely hidden in all their foods. I have also asked them why they constantly use canola oil in all there hot preared and cold prepared foodsand not coconut oil or even olive oil. Everyone knows that canola oil is a very well known gmo. I suggest to everyone who shops there to check all their labels and ingredient s of anything they want to buy and eat.
What do you think about SO DELICIOUS coconut milk? It has a NON GMO label even tho one of the ingredients is Carrageenan! What dairy free milk is safe? Thank you
Canola and Palm oil in almost everything is my biggest gripe too! I am a bit wary of the latest coconut oil fad too though. People tend to forget that cultures where coconut oil is used for cooking tend to have sour components in their food( think South Indian food or Thai food where Tamarind is a big component in meals).
Just wondering if you can tell me what websites you order your bulk health food from? I’m new to no processed foods but also want to be frugal. Thanks!
In the spirit of competitiveness, I think Wegmans should make a similar commitment. Other whole food and organic markets could also be contacted to suggest they do the same. Let’s face it, if they didn’t, then everyone that wanted to ensure their food safety and absence of GMOs would shop at the retailers savvy enough to introduce labelling first. We consumers demand it!
