Everyone has their philosophy on eating well, especially those who consider themselves loyal Whole Foods Market customers. The interviewer is curious how aligned your philosophy is with their "Declaration of Interdependence," where they state, "We Sell the Highest Quality Natural and Organic Foods. We appreciate and celebrate great food. Breaking bread with others, eating healthy and eating well-these are some of the great joys of our lives. Our product quality standards lead the marketplace. We focus on growing methods, safety, ingredients, taste, freshness, nutrition and appearance. We tirelessly develop and introduce delicious and healthy foods that our customers love." Whether it is their sustainably sourced products, or their fair trade offerings, or those with organic ingredients, share your healthy eating priorities, and what it is about Whole Foods which most appeals to you.

"To me, eating well isn't just about eating organic. It is about quality and whole nutrition. It is about simple, well-sourced ingredients, foods that are less processed with less packaging. It is about maintaining a well-balanced diet that feels fulfilling and satisfying. It's about feeling full before you are full, and nourishing the body with everything it needs."
