Life is full of risks

I was warned by followers of the whole food movement that if I buy food from ordinary supermarkets in the US I could be exposing myself to a host of pesticides, growth hormones, etc., with resultant harmful effect on my health.  Well, life is full of risks, and that includes ingesting food from unknown provenance. 

Today, at Whole Foods, among the paintings by local artists, were rows and rows of food items that seduce, allure, and entice.  With my Sony Ericsson K770i cell phone, here are the images captured.



At every turn, the store has signs that exhort its customers to eat whole, to eat natural, recycle, re-use, support local communities etc.  This is marketing with a "noble" twist, but marketing nevertheless.
