It really makes me question the thinking here, if an irresponsible company like Whole Foods is deemed to be a good sponsor. Their beef recall is the latest in a long list of recalls, including a new recall today, not to mention the company's determination to run all other organic providers out of business. I just don't understand why they're being allowed to continue on as sponsors. It's ruining it for a lot of people who are serious about the Slow movement. The Haphazard Gourmet post was on the Culinate website, but in case you missed it, here's the link: http://haphazardgourmet.blogspot.com/2008/08/slow-food-nation-08-and-whole-foods.html I was really looking forward to Slow Food Nation, until this past weekend I started seeing links all over the net to a post on haphazardgourmet.com about Whole Foods sponsoring the event.
