New Organic Spies Video: Whole Foods Hidden Camera GMO Sting - Bait Organic, Switch to GMO

Not all of Whole Foods Market's employees are aware that they're selling unlabeled GMO foods, and Organic Spies has now caught many on camera, swearing up and down that Whole Foods is a GMO-free store.

It's the old “bait-and-switch.” Whole Foods lures customers in on the promise of local, organic and non-GMO products, then sends them out of the store with bags full of overpriced, so-called "natural" versions of the same genetically engineered foods sold in conventional supermarkets.

Is it any wonder that Whole Foods hasn't given any money to Proposition 37, the California ballot initiative to label genetically engineered foods?

They're just not ready to give up the money they're making selling Monsanto's GMOs.
