Dear Whole Foods,

I think you need to drink a little less of your own (organic) Kool-Aid.
It is not OK to employ a woman giving out samples of candy insisting that only her brand is "nontoxic" chocolate. It is illegal to falsely claim that your competitors (such as Hershey's) are POISIONING their customers, and kinda damn rude to imply that my mother and grandparents were suffering from Munchausen syndrome any time they baked for me.
Your product is not made locally—its ingredients are imported from Europe (so it's not green, or USA-economy friendly)—but maybe I'm overreacting. Because I'm sure hard selling "nontoxic" desserts to Americans will only benefit us ... nothing bad has ever happened to the health of Americans because of inaccurate, pushy food marketing.
