Whole Foods CEO: The corporate world has a ‘bad brand’

New Orleans Whole Foods chairman and CEO John Mackey, who addressed the Tulane Business Forum in New Orleans on Friday, said large corporations have done a poor job of communicating the benefits of capitalism and as a result have been unjustly vilified by some consumers.
