Whole Suck

Went to Whole Foods last night (here in New Orleans we don’t have a lot of choices in grocery stores). But have you noticed that as soon as Whole Foods carries something that sells well they instantly get rid of the brand and usurp it under their own generic? And you know what? Whole Food generic brands suck!

We were looking for the chicken sausage they used to carry and now the case is full of only a Whole Foods Nature something brand. I told the butcher that their sausage is not as good. He said, “I hear that all the time. They tell us it has exactly the same ingredients but everyone says it doesn’t taste as good.”

Whole Food used to carry these tortas that were so tasty – they were cheese, pesto and sundried tomatoes and you could just whip them out at any little gathering and it was oh so good. But noooo, Whole Foods quit carrying the brand and started making it themselves and I have never bought a torta there since because they SUCK.

Okay, Whole Food’s bottled water is good. Particularly, the sparkling mineral water. But really Whole Foods management, stick to water, do you have to hijack everything that is good and subsume it under your own inferior brand to eek out a few more dollars? Who died and made you the food god? You suck! Be happy, spread the wealth, stop with the monomaniacal need to control all food products in your store.
