A Whole Foods Fool

I have to admit that when I saw this ad today, I really didn't think much about the absurdity of what I was reading. Organic Air at 6.99 a bottle? Too expensive for me.

Featured recipes include deep fried pork eclairs and toast. Pork is a particularly hot ingredient right now and some people do lack the basics of cooking. Feature story on their newest store in Antarctica. Hey, they are expanding. 12 daring recipes for spoiled milk? This did strike me as strange. Upon closer inspection, I realized that this entire thing was a hoax--all in the April Fool's Spirit.

Kudos to Whole Foods... for creating this now nationwide buzz on April Fool's Day and for pulling the wool over my eyes.

Put the Bag Down. Seriously

Nothing like a little mold to scare away the thief in the break room. You know who you are. You steal cans of Diet Coke, leftover take out food, chips and cookies out of lunch bags and then you sit with the quizzical look on your face when your co-worker walks around and asks if you know who took her Clementine oranges out of her lunch sak. Who could have done that? It's so rude! You agree wholeheartedly while smugly thinking to yourself "There were 4 in there-she's not going to miss 1, right? They are so small anyway." Rationalize away, my friend.

I had to laugh when my friend and colleague Shelley Rael, MS, RD, LD and dietitian for the University of New Mexico Health Promotion Program in Albuquerque, NM posted this buy.





Brilliant!! And great for a laugh---April Fool's Day is around the corner, you know!
