Yep I won't see the Liberal Commies in their anymore.

I think the real Whole Foods buyers have left Zero a longtime ago.

Um, sure. Enjoy your Tofurky, mashed yeast and protein extract.

It is kind of a long drive, but I guess I will to drive down to the nearest Whole Foods and shop on next Tuesday...if I still have a job!

Defense Industry, you know. No longer needed in the "Era of Obama"!

Oh no, I’m buying their great Grilled Bacon Wrapped Chicken, their BBQ’d Baby Back Ribs, the fresh New England Clam Chowder and the Breakfast Pizza.

If you think Whole Foods is health food, you ain’t been to Whole Foods!

What is Whole Foods, anyway? A grocery store chain? We don’t have anything like it around here in NC. Does it market certain products, what?

Whole Foods should run some “eye-popping” specials that day and see who comes running!

Their food is very high quality, fresh, healthy food. They have a great meat counter.

The CEO has spoken out for conservative causes and now the leftists are calling for his dismissal. Whole Food’s stock has been rising in recent months, and they’re opening more stores.

You have them in NC. Cary, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh and Winston-Salem

With all the outcry against Mackey's ad and the WF plan, have you heard anyone actually address the ideas. All I have heard is the "how dare you" outrage!

The plan makes a lot of sense and could easily be implemented nationwide with a minimum increase in bureaucracy and SEIU jobs.

Yes, they are a grocery chain. They offer food for the Left and food for the Right. But the Left has loved them as though they only have healthy (yucky) hippie food.

Mostly, Whole Foods has done a brilliant job of promoting themselves and enviro-friendly, much like Fresh Market. The Left gobbled it up!

Whole Foods is a super market that prides itself on exotic inventory.

Their deli section has prepared side dishes you will not find any place else. Cheeses and seafood are 2nd to none...

...well not as good as Wegman’s LOL!

WEGMAN’S is like Whole Foods, except that a WEGMAN’S can house a dozen Whole Foods under one roof.

A minor correction: Mr. Mackey’s oped was published in the Wall Street Journal, not the WaPo. Not even sure WaPo would publish it, given their drool cup-worthy adoration of the ObamaMessiah. Sign O’ The Times ;-)

See, that’s the big problem here, REP. Nobody on the Left cares what the issues are. The issues aren’t even the point. Are you with the ObamaMessiah, or are you a racist? See how it all works now ;-)

It's too bad WF does not sell any products online, since I really hate grocery shopping. But they do sell gift cards...

Here's a wicked idea: Buy gift cards and give them to liberal relatives and friends as birthday or Christmas presents.

Suprisingly, they have some of the finest quality buffet items and salad, along with on-call freshly cooked items I've ever seen offered at a store.

My greatest aprehension in shopping there is the multi-pierced freaks who handle your food on check-out.

I've identified a couple of cashiers that I feel comfortable with. I'll stand in line before I go to the others.

I really miss the 1950's and early 60's concept of public hygiene.
