You're the one who sounds ignorant. Personally, I love rice and beans and they're a fine breakfast for a lot of the rest of the world (ever had gallo pinto in Costa Rica? YUM). You choose to frequent Whole Foods, fine. But don't trash the rest of us who don't.

I don't know even where to begin here. Sure, rice and beans are served for breakfast in Costa Rica, but try explaining to an American 7-yr old that he now can't eat ANY of his favorite breakfast foods and has to consume rice and beans every day instead?!

Now you're just being dense.

I guess your children are going to write a satirical article down the line titled "Surviving Childen." Or maybe it won't be satirical...

These HP social satire articles just don't cut it. There's plenty to ridicule about WF, but this piece just tries too hard and winds up not too funny. Yeah, I spend a fortune at whole foods, but the lazy disgruntlement I feel when forking over so much cash should leave me amenable to satire, not defensive of WF, and I'm not feeling it here. "Might have been funny in 1993" PP pretty much captures it.

But you CAN'T find bread without a lot of additives at those places. I spent 25 minutes scouring the ingredients lists of every option in the bread aisle at Giant the other day, only to be disappointed.

OK, I understand that. I was just responding to the yogurt question, which came off as pretty accusatory. Idk why all of the Whole Foods lovers are so uptight and inflammatory toward others who don't understand shopping there. I shop at Whole Foods sometimes. They have awesome classes and events. But I also shop at several other grocery stores depending on sales, when/where I happen to be, etc.
