Americans get riled up about creationists and climate change deniers, but lap up the quasi-religious snake oil at Whole Foods. It’s all pseudoscience—so why are some kinds of pseudoscience more equal than others?

There is nothing the author attacks in this article that is not available at my local Kroger.

- Ezekiel 4:9 bread? check.

- probiotics? check.

- homeopathic remedies? check.

- what doctors don't tell you? check.

"Processed at a facility that also processes nuts."

There's plenty of things to criticize Whole Foods for, but carrying the same shit as Safeway is a piss-poor place to start.
