Whole Foods Market - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because as a frequent customer of Whole Foods, it is important to me that the food I consume has been put on the shelf in a sustainable manner. Additionally, Whole Foods products are considered a "higher-end" grocery/health food store and is a chain of multiple locations around America. Many of the products sold are free from hydrogenated fats and it has a wide selection of organic products. For that reason, it is very popular in Americans who can afford this premium nutrition. Despite offering such healthy options for nutrition, it is important to know how it reached that point. While reading the article, it is very substantial information about the different topics discussed, and gives a strong broad overview of everything.

The article provides a strong lead section, giving plenty of information about the history of Whole Foods and their expansion. Additionally, the lead section alludes to the different products offered very well, and the process in which they are developed. There are also topics in the article that are actually not covered in the lead section, but is very concise and detailed sufficiently. In term's of the content, the article's content is relevant but not fully up-to-date. There is not much information on efforts in the past 3 years, which raises questions on what is going on with Whole Foods today. However, the content does all seem to belong and aligns with the rest being discussed.

As for tone and balance, the article does not pose any strong arguments and remains objective throughout. It provides information that is more factual, allowing readers to develop their own opinions and not be persuaded.

All of the facts in the Whole Foods article are supported by credible sources, allowing readers to be confident in the content they are reading. Additionally, the sources are from a vast array of authors, providing different outlets of information. I have a found a couple peer-revied sources that I can use to add onto my edit when I do it. Overall, the article is very clearly written and there are not any spelling errors and it is broken up into different parts to highlight the major components. Additionally, the article provides many different images that are helpful to enhance the readers' understanding of the content presented. With those images, there are helpful captions for all.
