Time - Whole Foods has removed $6 asparagus water from the shelves of one store in Los Angeles saying that it had been offered mistakenly, a spokesperson for the grocer told CBS News. The product, which consisted of three asparagus stalks sitting in a bottle of water, was discovered by a Los Angeles resident who posted a photo on Instagram ridiculing the concept. The photo led to widespread criticism that the upscale grocer was ripping off customers with an over-priced and frivolous product.
That asparagus water tho

They figured out they were being ripped off now? A lot of their produce is overpriced.

You have an Izod logo as your avi, you used the term colored folks to describe black people, and you attempted to be funny using stupid ass stereotypes. I'm going to use my context clues and conclude that your're a racist white boy.

haha. i'm anything but.
I'm not white or racist.
I just have a crass sense of humor and have been here since 2002. And let's be honest... let me know when you find grits or duck sauce at whole foods. I'll wait.
Damn... this place has gone to shiit with the excessive e-militant activism and uber sensitivity. Mothafukkas can't take a damn joke any more. @Norton G.Nubuck and @Taadow ... there was a time when shiit used to be fun. Now these little bytch ass prudes just want to ruin shiit.

You know what, fukk it.
I'm going to speak on this issue at hand.
Whole Foods don't give a fukk about nobody that ain't white.
Agree to disagree. My un-p.c. comment was satirical, at worst, to verify the lone idea that whole foods ain't about shiit, they charge high mark-up on foods and are placed in "AFFLUENT" areas where majority WHITE people reside (unless you're a chub-ass c00n like Ed M-fin G).
I've been in there and they don't even make a non-white person feel welcome. They never ask if you need help. You wanna know why? The truth is... they don't want to see a person who isn't white... HAVE MONEY! And if you do, they damn well don't want you to spend it there - hence, why you seldom see products that cater to the demographic of minorities (sure sure, you'll see the occasional stir fry frozen package - which is the white man's attempt to go oriental... and you may even see the cac-version of Sriracha... but why don't they have the real shiit in there? It's appropriation at its finest, but mothafukkas is too blind to see through the lines).
If you really want to gauge my rhetoric based on context, you'd know how i felt about these socio-economical subjects at hand and understand I actually speak for the people. The stereotypes i bring to attention are in fact, albeit idiotic (that's just my personality) are valid points, but look at them at a larger picture.
Yet, you have uppity ass militants who think they're above and beyond shopping at QFC's, Safeway's, etc. These are the same people who preach going organic but never shop at their local farmers markets because it isn't trendy enough (oh, but you'll see they c00n asses right up Trader Joe alley).
So fukk any body for siding with that piece of shiit company... and fukk anybody else who don't know how to keep it mothafukkin' real by buying local produce and/or supporting urban farming in they neckuvdawoods (as a matter of fact - i got one right up my hill. And let me also point out, you wouldn't even find a trader joes or whole foods within a 10 mile radius of me ---- I live in the most diverse zip code in the country... tells you a lot when there are too many minorities... "OH, we can't place one of them upscale grocer markets... they'll ruin it for the white people."
I use the adjective "color" to describe minorities, because WE, as a PEOPLE are the ones that actually contain vast amounts of MELANIN in our skin tone. That's what makes us beautiful. And i'm proud of that. Because the white man wants you to think the aforementioned term is offensive or has negative social connotations... you're wildly mistaken. Embrace that god blessed us with the pigmentation of powerful beings. Since we landed on this north american soil... they just been tryna keep us down. Fighting each other. But i ain't about that. But i'm no militant either... i'm just realistic at how i perceive the world.
But like a said... no one looks at the big picture any more.
Y'all just treat Howie's rants like fat free milk...
.... cuz ya just skim it anyway.
I'm gone.

I've never even set foot in a Whole Foods before. fukk em.
That sounds like a good idea. Don't know about paying six bucks for it when I can buy asparagus for a couple of bucks.
