[My hearts in London - Everett]

I am a Christian who shops at Whole Foods. I am also employed and don't have a trust fund. I'm also not rich. I don't find the wide range of products offered at Whole Foods "pretentious", I like the variety. I don't spend more than $100 every two weeks at Whole Foods to feed myself and share dinner every night with my daughter. I use coupons there and I buy mostly stuff that is on sale. I don't get funny looks when I use coupons at the register either, by the way. Funny, I see plenty of pricey autos at Wal-mart and other pedestrian stores as well as at Whole Foods.

"Let the great unwashed who would allow such pedestrian products into their homes shop at the Stop & Shop (or Wal-Mart). That seems to be the general attitude at the Whole Foods, anyhow." ~ sounds like the one with the attitude problem is you! I meet very pleasant people at Whole Foods. Glad you've decided not to shop there!

I’ve read on FR not too long ago that the owner of WF is a conservative. Can’t remember which particular issue it was (0thugga in general? Hellth Care???) but he is not a liberal.

I am a vegetarian who eats mostly (as much as I can afford cheaply) organic foods. Conservatives do not have to eat meat and/or junk food in order to have conservative values.

I agree. I’ve met wonderful people at WF. I may not agree w all their politics but I pray for them. These people do understand customer service. They typically have manners & are as helpful as can be. I believe that attitude trickles down from their CEO who genuinely cares for his employees. BTW, he’s not a lib but not quite conservative either. He is a self-proclaimed libertarian.
