A new article on MSNBC brings up the fact that just because something is sold at Whole Foods or another health food store, doesn't mean it is healthy.

Also don't assume the employees know anything about nutrition, they don't. While they may be a bit more educated than some of the workers at Kroger that doesn't mean they know more about nutrition. Most likely anything they tell you will be their own personal beliefs.

The highlights:

• fat is fat, good fat is good fat and bad is bad. Ghee, an Indian butter touted by Ayurvedic medicine as being healthy is just as bad for you as regular butter (assuming you believe the nutritionists that think butter is bad, I don't)
• Ice cream - always a bad idea, too much sugar too many calories
• The food bar at Whole foods has just as much crap as any other restaurant - potatoes with butter is potatoes with butter.
• Organic isn't necessarily healthy - Organic mac & cheese is not good for you. It may not have the preservatives and other junk as Kraft Mac & Cheese, but it still contains a lot of calories, fats & carbs.
• Eat the salads
• The article pushes the "faux meats" personally I think you need meat. Humans are omnivores. Eat meat
• Eat real veggies, not supplements, i.e. greens in a bottle or powder. Don't spend more on supplements than you do on real food
• Try to buy locally grown produce, It is fresher & will last longer
• Sugar is sugar -cane, sugar beet, turbinado, etc = bad
• Do eat lots of whole grains
