all i can do is ask for your help

it has come to my attention in the recent months that trader joes has taken a dive for the worst. they are the kind of store that chooses what they keep in their store based on how much the public buys and lately they're discontinuing ALL my favorites, (ie whole grain tortelloni gorgonzola pasta, brown rice medley, whole grain bean and cheese burritos for lunch on the go... ), which i guess means the consumers have taken a dive for the worst ha. ive asked them about this and i guess the public would rather buy the white flour options and its stressing me out... i was so happy to finally find fresh pasta that's whole grain and sooooo delicious with the gorgonzola... now they only have white pasta and most of them have meat in them... i was so happy to find a lunch on the go that was fresh, not frozen and whole grain with freshly made salsa... now the only other option is white flour tortillas and meat... and soooooooooo happy to find the brown rice medley.. there is nothing like that texture in a rice... anyway, after investigation i have come to find that on my own i can do absolutely NOTHING. so the only way that there is even a possibility of those things coming back or hopefully stopping more of my favorites from disappearing is to ask all of you around here to ask them to keep more whole grain things in their store and buy whole grain things... they said if this stuff is requested enough they will order it again...

...they must be discontinuing a lot of stuff right now... forget the brown rice, THEY GOT RID OF THEIR FAMOUS TJ "$10 Cheesecake from the throne of Jesus himself!!"
Something else I was in there for recently too they dont carry anymore that is slipping my mind right now...
Im with you... they are SO going corporate. ALSO... not that this has anything to do with the quality of food they carry, but goes to show... they got rid of the really cool tropical fish tanks they used to have in all the stores because they wanted to make more room for more merchandise... sad. Wanna go burn it down with me? ;)
