I went to the protest at Whole Foods HQ in Austin, Texas today. I was expecting hundreds of college kids from the university, but only 15 showed, and there were 9 anti-Obama people with signs. Seeming to caricature his own cause, one of the pro-Obamacare signs said
"Honk 4 socialized medicine."
But both groups were overwhelmed by hundreds of shoppers. I don't think Whole Foods has to worry.
I had trouble finding a place to park, but found a place on the 2nd underground level. I bought 3 times as much stuff as I normally would. I made my way back to my car, and saw a car crash into one of the supports. Sure enough, it was one of the "Honk 4 socialized medicine" guys. He ripped off his fender. A visual message meaning "The wheels are coming off?"

People who shop at Whole Foods have no right to complain about the cost of ANYTHING, including health care.

God forbid that Liberals not think in lock-step.
That's true freedom, don't you know?

"Honk 4 socialized medicine." But 0bama will lie all day and say it's not "socialized medicine".

No boycotting Whole Foods!! What?? And I can never find a parking space at mine. I shop there at least three times a week. This morning I drove around at least ten minutes till I found someone leaving so I could park.

New Whole Foods opening near me in Manhattan. Looking forward to shopping there.
To: ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas
The shoppers there pay twice as much for food...but it’s organic and sustainable! Whatever that means.
If they can afford to do so, they can easily afford private insurance. Shouldn’t these people have a job?

You should have gotten a picture of the crash. lol. I am sure he will sue someone for something and claim the support jumped out of the bushes or something.

Ther isn’t a Whole Foods within 100 miles of me. Wish there were. I’d make a point of buying bulk lentils there, anyhow.

In response, a Facebook group called, Boycott Whole Foods, was founded, and today it has almost 23,000 members who have pledged to stop shopping there. Just as well. Food stamps are costly for stores to process.

My sister went to the one today on 3rd and Fairfax(In Los Angeles) it was PACKED as usual. Whole Foods is always packed, you can’t find a parking space at any location. We will shop Whole Foods from now on because Mackey stood up for what is right. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, he has every right to have his own opinion. This “Boycott” is a joke, Whole Foods isn’t going to suffer because of some liberal whack jobs who probably never shopped there anyway

I don't think Whole Foods has to worry...I bought 3 times as much stuff as I normally would.I think you are right. Normally we don't shop at Whole Foods. For a place that sell health food, the people at the checkout stand always look very sick. But we will make an exception over the next month and do a lot of shopping there.

Leftist thugs.
There’s nothing sacred about boycotts. The Nazis boycotted Jewish businesses.

I was already planning to visit my local Whole Foods tomorrow. I may pick up a few extra items unless I hear that they have apologized for the editorial and have begged the Obamunist’s forgiveness.

I like Trader Joe’s better anyway.
