So-called organic (”living?”) and “whole food” places are by nature liberal. Liberals congregate there because they think they are beating The Man with “natural” stuff and not enriching anyone. Sometimes they have good things there, so I do occasionally stop in. But it is one of liberalism’s religious sites.

Despite my screen name, I live in a Seattle suburb, but occasionally cross into enemy territory to go to the Whole Foods store there. I don't know if I'm imagining it, but I swear the customers in that store have this set expression that is a combination of aggression, smugness, suppressed anger, and entitlement.
