[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This hilarious account pretty much sums up why I despise Whole Foods:

[b]My favorite part is the line about how only rich people have dietary restrictions. So true.[/b][/quote]

Maybe this is due to many lower income families not having the money to spend on appointments with specialists?  We are certainly not rich, but WF is the only place I can find some of the things my kid (who has food allergies) can eat.  Yes, there are a lot of people who make fun of it, but for some of us it provides a less stressful shopping trip than a regular grocery store. [/quote]

That section really rubbed me the wrong way too.  We buy gluten free because my kid is a celiac.  Having financial security and good health insurance didn't make my kid a celiac - it just got her diagnosed early and prevented years of damage.

So all those poorer folk who aren't gluten intolerant? Well some of them are, and are suffering for it, because figuring it out is hard and expensive.[/quote]

Does everyone whose kid is diagnosed with something immediately go for a consult to have a stick implantd up their ass?[/quote]
