Is there an organization with deep pockets you would have preferred to see as a sponsor? I’m no Whole Foods apologist, but they have responded to criticism and engaged with their critics.

Whole Foods, with their repeated recalls and lawsuits for both food poisonings and mislabeling products, as well as their Federal Trade Commission suit/SEC investigation, their dependence on global and/or conventionally grown products, union busting, ETC, seems like the wrong choice for such a terrific festival. Whole Foods as a corporation violates most of the points of the Declaration For Healthy Food And Agriculture. What are the Food Theorists thinking? Thanks! Hello–
