In reply to the discussion: Why do people think they have to drink crappy, poisonous apple juice from China? [View all]abelenkpe
(9,933 posts)10. There are many items at Whole Foods that cost less
than they do at Ralphs or Albertsons. Same with Fresh and Easy and Trader Joes. I think the OP was trying to point out that if one shouldn't completely discount Whole Foods as being unaffordable and should instead compare prices and quality between all shops. We end up getting different items from several stores and the local farmers market depending on who has the best deal and quality merchandise.
But yeah, there should be labels on country of origin required for everything. China....why if we grow that stuff here?

That's swell that we need to stop Chinese products; I agree. But what about NOW? This moment?

I suspect those labels lie. For instance makers of extra virgin olive oil CLAIM it comes from Italy.

Maybe because they are poor, and crappy is better than none? Or that's what the food pantry was

Again, the price is right so that one doesn't wash. And make up your mind:

No one has to go to Whole Foods to get US apple juice. Tree Top is in all the stores
