It’s funny- considering whole foods is called ‘whole foods’ you would think they would be against selling products made with refined and poor quality ingredients. But I guess that shows whose running the company and what they’re values really are.

Here in Australia, we had our own version of “Whole Foods” which has now shutdown.
But I’m not sure whether they ever stocked raw milk (it’s sold as ‘bath milk’ here because it’s illegal in Australia to buy raw milk).

Though you can buy bath milk in certain health food shops here, except some places seem quite cautious to do so. Because if they get caught for or are thought to be selling it for consumption, rather than for bathing, they can get fined up to $40 k. So some vendors don’t bother with selling it. But what people do with the milk in their own homes is their own choice and their own right. You’re lucky raw milk is legal in your country. So many people seem to benefit from it, it’s a shame it isn’t legal here. You would think they would make something damaging to our health illegal, you know like smoking, but instead it’s raw milk thats banned.

I work at a health food shop so I get all my fresh fruit, veg and organic meats from there but if I didn’t I would definitely go to farmers markets more often (it is always so much cheaper). I’ve heard of lots of people buying raw milk straight from the farmer though which seems pretty cool.

This is why we are so unhealthy as a nation…when Whole Paycheck (which I like for some things) tells the world, through their actions, that raw milk is bad, everyone listens to them. Instead of the real research.

No display of Candy at our local (Philadelphia) in a state where it is easier to buy Raw Milk than most places) store but I have really curtailed my shopping there- they never have been friendly to diabetics and they love affair with canola oil was a real turn off. I don’t need them anymore. We have a great Farmers Market in Center city for Milk and I buy grass fed beef from a local farmer. whole foods was a major carb pusher for Grainaterians.
