How to use whole in a sentence?

1. Robert Pressley:

   To prove that I am alive is just insane and it scares me to death, that at a touch of a button or because of someone’s clerical error my whole life can be taken away from me and it is.

2. Keith Ablow:

3. Chris Murray:

   Poor diet is responsible for more deaths than any other risk factor in the world, our assessment suggests the leading dietary risk factors are high intake of sodium, or low intake of healthy foods, such as whole grains, fruit, nuts and seeds and vegetables.
