What do you think about Whole Foods Market?

Whole Foods: An anti-science, anti-intellectual corporation run by an anti-labor, union-busting, climate-change-denying right-wing corporate master that makes money selling a wide range of quack products at obscene prices to the gullible and easily frightened by using shrewd, cunning, cynically manipulative, fearmongering marketing and advertising.

Their stores feature prominent signs about GM food that literally gets the definition of “GMO” completely wrong:

But while they're spouting this uninformed rubbish, you can buy poison in their health food aisle.

Actual, literal poison: cyanide harvested from apricot pits and marketed as a healthy “vitamin.” Actual cyanide. For real.

There is no “Vitamin B17.” The stuff called “Vitamin B17” is a cyanide compound that is not only unnecessary to humans, it's poisonous.

Amygdalin

Whole Foods is exactly what their fans say they despise: a huge, exploitive Fortune 500 corporation willing to do anything, including spread lies and sell poison, to make a profit.

[Edited to add] The comments on this answer have been…interesting. We have a giant Fortune 500 megacorp that is literally selling cyanide to people, and yet many of the comments are “but…but…but…GMOs!”

Selling. Cyanide.

A company is selling cyanide and calling it health food, and people are hung up on “but GMOs.”

Fascinating.
