Right now those creeps are craving cous cous and getting the shakes.
This idiotic boycott was in responde to a VERY REASONABLE OP-ED piece written by Whole Food’s CEO regarding how to reform our healthcare system.
FR had a whole thread discussing it here :

CEO Mackay gave one of the MOST REASONABLE and in my view, workable, practical proposal I have ever read thus far on this issue.
The CEO is too right wing for them. They’ve griped about him in the past on other matters.
The irony is that the Whole Foods in the San Fernando Valley is the very epitome of trendy liberalism.
-But now I’ll have to start patronizing it.
I didn’t realize that Whole Foods also thinks about the whole body by providing healthy foods and helping to eliminate a toxic government health program.
I usually shop at Trader Joe’s but I guess that I will start shopping at Whole Foods now. They have definitely won me over.
I’m headed there shortly. Got a great deal on seafood yesterday.
My wife and I will be doing nearly all of our shopping at Whole Foods.
LOL lol lol I’m sure 85% of Whole Food shoppers are Obama voters. I get a few items there once a month... like br rice and other whole grains or tofu (go ahead and laugh)
I personally went out of my way to swing by my Whole Foods store last week. I even left a note on their Customer Forum bulletin Board in support of Mackey.
Yes, his was a reasoned, sensible plan. What was so shocking to the lefties is that he called for some PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.
This is what drove them over the edge...HOW DARE he expect someone to be responsible for themselves when they can simply demand someone else pay their bills for them...
snort
Where else are the birkenstockers going to get their arugula and organic goat milk?
I have shopped at Whole Foods part of the time for quite a while. The only reason I held back was because of all the left-wing granola nutbars who populated the place. Not all the shoppers fall into that category, but enough to pollute the atmosphere.
I’ll definitely start shopping there all the time now.
I wasn’t familiar with Whole Foods. Unfortunately, they don’t have a Charlotte location.
These idiots have not compassion for the employees, suppliers and their families. Libs are suppose to be caring people. BS!
I loved his simple answer. "See, that's where we differ. You think people are stupid and I don't."
There is a Whole Foods in the western part of Massachusetts that I visit to get two or three items I can’t easily find anywhere else. It is in a college town and filled with earthy-crunchy, vacant-eyed, oddly smelling hippie liberals. If you had a dollar for every anti-Bush, pro-Obama and global warming sticker you saw on the Priuses in the parking lot, you could...well, buy a week’s worth of groceries at Whole Foods.
Does this mean that the place will be transformed into a mecca for conservatives and moderates? Losing the liberals will bring an improvement in basic manners among shoppers. Seriously, I will also make more visits there...just taking care to avoid paying the newly increased sales tax.
I assume the question is rhetorical.
Not only did I go out of my way to shop in Whole Foods today but as I was getting into the elevator there was someone with a couple of bags from Whole Foods.
So take that jackasses.
“And yet lefties want to boycott the company because CEO John Mackey wrote an op-ed that suggests alternatives to single payer health care? It wasn’t even a nasty or mean-spirited op-ed.”
They’re trying to banish all political dissent. There’s a dirty word for people like them.
I have shopped about half the time at Whole Foods for years. The things you buy there are not polluted with MSG and high fructose corn syrup, so if you are trying to avoid those things it’s easy. The meat is excellent too. I have never bought fish there because we have another fish market where we shop.
