Fucking smegma soaked Christ on the end of Charlie Sheen's HIV infected dick. Yes, Whole Foods is expensive and there are alternatives, but to castigate WF only for carrying non-GMO produce and HFCS-free foodstuffs is demonstrative of a fucking twat, who is fundamentally incapable of understanding what factory farming is and how WF lets consumers opt-out of it. For instance, their animal welfare and sustainable fishery standards have not a single fucking thing with the GMO debate.  Whole Foods is one of the only places around me that offers air chilled chicken. It's more costly, but I'd gladly pay a little more for chicken that's processed to minimize bacterial growth far better than water-chilled and that isn't soaked through with fucking chlorinated water. If you want to up your risk of food poisoning and love your chicken to taste like a fucking pool, be my guest. I also prefer buying meat that wasn't raised on a fucking CAFO, which are filthy and catastrophic for the environment. Again, if you savor the image of cattle enclosed in 2 feet high lagoons of shit and being fed a corn-based diet, which is toxic to them, you're allowed to be a sadistic and cruel with your miserly attitude. Plus it almost guarantees that there's shit on the meat during slaughter. Yum! But, hey, you know the price of everything and the value of fuck-all. HFCS is bad for you because mercury, a proven neurotoxin, is bad for you. And about half of HFCS contains mercury. Where does it come from? The mercury cells used to process caustic soda used in the production of HFCS. But, hey, you just said any health risks associated with it are myths. Insecticide-producing corn aka Bt corn has genes that express the production of Bt throughout the plant. Bt toxin binds to the stomach of insect stomachs, breaking them open to cause death. There's convincing proof that those proteins also bind to mammalian intestinal tracts, causing microscopic "leakage" and inflammatory responses. Since this pesticide is woven into the molecular structure of the corn, there is no way to wash it off. The only way to avoid the risk is to not eat it. But, as I said, if you feel comfortable with the risk, more power to you.  Think Whole Foods is too expensive? Don't fucking shop there. However, those of us who truly care about what we put in our mouth like to have options that mitigate risk.
