I worked at WFM years ago. John Mackey is a notorious nutball. He started the store with good intentions, and clearly struck a chord with an audience. But I was there in a period of rapid expansion, and I saw employee complaints and suggestions go no further than the store manager. Our benefits were cut, and it became more difficult to get those benefits. I don't know whether to say this guy is an example of "good intentions gone wrong" or "power and money corrupt" or something else; but it's obvious that regardless of where he started, he now has little grasp on reality and seems to think that because he experienced success in one thing that any concept generated from within his warped brain must necessarily be correct. Plus the WFM bakery uses HFCS! Not very wholesome.
