Is the supermarket "whole foods" all vegan?!
Is the supermarket "whole foods" all vegan?
in other words, is all the food they sell there vegan? i'm a vegetarian trying to become vegan and it would be a LOT easier if i could get all my food in one place.
let me know!
Answers:
There is probably not a supermarket in the world that is all vegan, Whole Foods included.
That being said, the founder & CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey is vegan, so you can bet you can probably do all your shopping there, and they do have strict humanitarian standards for the meat products they do sell; probably the strictest in the world. In fact they co-exist quite nicely with most animal rights groups, despite their selling of meat & seafood products.
They are known for outstanding produce, at least 30-40% of which is organically grown. They will also have all the standard meat substitutes from regular tofu & tempeh to more exotic stuff like seitan and all the branded stuff like Yves.
Egg substitutes, trans-fat free margerine are staples as well.
Yes, they sell meat, seafood and vegetarian (but non-vegan products), as they prefer to provide the best products in every category and let the customers have a choice rather than making it for them.
If you are opposed to shopping in a store that is not vegan, or just don't want to support one financially, you may starve. At the very least you will look for a long time and ultimately be forced to shop in very small specialized and pricey stores, and probably have to shop in several places to get what you want.
I would recommend Whole Foods to all people who love food, vegetarian, vegan, and omnivore alike. As long as you don't expect everyone to be the same as you, you'll be fine and find everything your looking for.
Nope, they sell meat and animal products
God I hope not!
Um no it's a mixture of just healthy omnivore products, vegetarian, and vegan stuff. I went to one in the city(Manhatten) and it was HUGE if I could live there...I would :P. So if you live on the island or in the city it's near Central Park I believe.
No,they sell "happy meat."It should be vegan though,since John mackey considers himself vegan.Whole foods is basically the Wal-Mart of health food stores.
Ther sell vegan products but there are definetly non-vegetarian foods there (beef, seafood, etc).
Depending on where you may live, you might have to search online for a local mart that will offer more vegan products. Large chain stores are just less likely to be focused on vegan needs.
However, if you just want to go to whole foods, they probably have enough vegan food that you can go there for most of your purchases.
I guess you didn't notice the meat department while you were there?
nope not at all....
It is majority but everything is not .. If your a vegan it is a good market for you. Try Trader Joe's too
Wholefoods is not all vegan but they have many vegan items.
no. they sell lots of meat. just because they are "whole foods" dosent mean they are "wholesome"!
I wish, I too am tired of shopping at three different stores a week.
I'm not a fan of the politics of 'whole foods'. I just don't shop there for ANY reason. To the best of my knowledge there's only one totally vegan grocery in the US (and maybe the world).
If you're in Portland, Oregon you can visit them, if not you can do like me and web order from them (link below)

Whole Foods sales a wonderful selection for Vegan, Veggies & people who want Organic( includes meat, poultry & fish)
There is very little you can not get there. Even pet food & cleaning products, coffee, teas & wines. Check them out you will be pleased.
Nope. Don't trust that it's vegan unless you get it right out of the produce department, or from a farmer's market.
NO.
...
have you been there?
You can get all your food there if you are a vegan, but they do sell meat there. It is organic, free range etc.... I have been to a whole foods and it is amazing. I would like to buy stock in that company. It is so beautiful I could cry.
In Florida there are not many places that are vegan friendly. This is one of them and they are all over the country. Just look online.
Whole foods has lots of good vegan food, but they also sell meat and other non-vegan foods too.
