Purpose:
To apply the ideas of Michael Pollan in Chapters 8 and 9 of The Omnivore’s Dilemma to your own experience of Whole Foods market, whether during our class visit or on your own time.
Topic:
In a journal of 2-3 pages, examine Whole Foods market through the lens of Pollan’s description and analysis of the market, which is quite critical of the market’s use of the term “organic” so freely. First, explain Pollan’s view of the market. Then, in your own
argument, explain whether you found his opinions validated by your own experience and observation. Did you feel the market is honest in its self-portrayal? What are we paying extra for in shopping there? Are those prices worth the money? Explain.

Little Hint:Whole food misleading us.
based on your observation, the label, the product, is it worth more the price? more money?
