In response to the Left-driven boycott of Whole Foods Markets over CEO John Mackey's Washington Post oped opposing the ObamaCare bill, the national Tea Party Coalition is scheduling a "buycott" encouraging members to shop Whole Foods on September 1st.

Today’s the day!! Participate in the Whole Foods “BUYcott” to support the CEO’s opposition to Obamacare — and to really p!ss off the freaks who are boycotting.

The wife of one of my friends works for Whole Foods here in VA.
They have the best cuts of meat, ESPECIALLY the ribs, (when combined with my world famous BBQ sauce, of course.)
Modern Conservative calls it "a healing elixir of goodness and joy"
Vamps and Vixens says "its official,...the whole household, including 2 lhasa apsos and one feisty feline agree: Your BBQ sauce is DELICIOUS!
Even Uncle Jimbo says the stuff is good, and there is a video of him saying it and I can't find it.

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

Yup. But the "it's expensive!" part remains accurate. We get there about once a month and buy 3-4 things. Maybe we'll make an extree visit.

My wife and I went to Whole Foods a little while ago.
The parking lot was packed, store very busy.

The first thing I did was go to the Customer Service desk and ask about the ‘boycott’ of Whole Foods. The young man chuckled and implied ‘no biggie’.

I told him today was a buycott in support of Whole Foods.
He was very appreciative and offered his hand, we shook hands and away we shopped.

Whole Foods really do have first class food stuffs, produce, huge selection of vitamins, minerals, wines, on and on.
Not cheap but first class.
Didn’t find one item we were looking for so we cruised over to Trader Joe’s.
After Whole Foods TJ looks bleak.

Did everyone go shopping this evening? I took the kids and let them pick out more “healthy” snacks then we usually get. Trying to cut back on corn syrup and increase whole wheat...

There were a ton of folks in the store and a couple dozen out front with a news crew. Not sure what the makeup of the crowd but I know there were a few boy-cotters out there....

I went to ours @ Preston and Forest in Dallas. Had a blast, spent 30 bucks on groceries and probably freaked out all the Bush hating slugs. BTW the employees of Whole Foods brought some bottled water out to all of us. Nice touch.

I didn’t know this before.
