Nothing wrong with it. If it passes organic standards, it is organic. Whole Paychecks is just another large company and will act the way large companies have always acted. On the bright side, if it did not buy from China, it would be nicknamed Whole 401K. The only thing which can not be made in China is locally produced food.

Most of our hybrid seed comes from China, too.

Chile grows a ton of organic (and conventional) stuff, too.

I think if you look at the video, you will see that wf is not very careful about how "organic" their food is. What I do know is that as much as they charge for their food, I wouldn't buy it if it was triple certified organic. I have seen the same thing at farmers markets. Good grief, just because it is locally grown(if indeed it is), I won't pay 4 times the going rate for it. It just can't be that good. steve

This story came out a few years ago and while I wouldn't trust China with anything I put in my body, at least WF states Country of Origin on their packaging. Plenty of other companies don't even do that. Until the govt. agencies that regulate our food have more stringent rules in place, we are left with either trusting the huge agribusinesses, or growing our own. I choose to grow my own.

As for the cost of organic, I agree. The consumer is being ripped off. Back when I bought organic produce (probably 20 years ago) the cost was only slightly higher than conventional produce and I was willing to pay a little extra for an organic apple that I knew was produced in the US. Then the large corporations started buying out all the little organic family farms so they could jack the price up and make a killing. That's when I stopped buying and started growing my own. I also noticed when the economy began to take a dive the cost of organic shot through the roof because people couldn't afford spending that extra money and went back to buying conventional.

Well let me tell you about China, since I just returned from living there for 2 years.

Our dog food is 1,000% better then the crap you get there. After eating there for 2 years, I have about $10,000 worth of damage to my teeth because of 3 cracked teeth and 1 tooth which came out. The Chinese do not use a band saw to cut their meat but instead use a meat cleaver which leaves bone fragments in the meat. When you bite into the meat, which is in every dish you get, you will crack your teeth when you hit one of the bone fragments.

Those pictures of an animal being cut up, is right next to the veggies and there are flies all over going from the bloody meat to the raw veggies which you will be eating tonight.

I had to return back to the US after 2 years because my gastrointestinal tract finally gave out from eating their unsanitary food and I needed to seek medical attention. I went from 210 pounds 6'2" to 155 in a few months.

There is ZERO quality control over their package goods. Eating something out of a box was like eating "Cracker Jacks" because you never know what the surprise inside is going to be. The Chinese never complain and just accept it, because there is no one to complain too.

Their veggies are grown on the worse polluted soil I have ever seen. It is like eating raw veggies grown on top of fresh raw sewage.

Anything that comes from China, stay away from at all cost!
