CEO Hopes To Get Stressed Firm Whole Foods Back On Natural Foods Path

August 5, 2009: 07:01 PM EST
Whole Foods Markets CEO John Mackey, not one to mince words, says his company will no longer sell “a bunch of junk.” A strategic shift back to its natural food roots is working already. Profits are up, thanks to some cost-cutting after three quarters of slumping sales. And “healthy eating” became the new company mantra after Mackey himself shed 10 pounds on a non-fat diet. The company is also expanding efforts to educate customers on healthier eating, cutting prices on many of its products, and launching an employee health program.
