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?"

If libs don’t like Whole Foods, it’s time for me to start buying more.

I’ve had it with libs. Bring it on... and wait ‘till the next election.

Oh, ACORN types, we’re gonna be the ones at the election booth this time - waiting for you.

And forget about the census.

I look forward to the 120 mile drive to the nearest Whole Foods to me to express my support with buying power. I’m glad he spoke out.

I hated shopping at Whole Foods as it looked like most folks in there took to heart the recommendation to use only one sheet of toilet paper.

Eh, I may go back now. :-)

Since a lot of democrats as well as Republicans are losing their butts financially; does it matter?

Typical communist indoctrinated dumbasses.

Lets kill a company that employs 50,000 people and pays all of their healthcare premiums.

Why? because Whole Foods owner doesn’t like communism.

Someday these idiots who went to college are going to be on the shit end of their thinking. It will be too damn late.

I’ve never shopped at Whole Foods before, but I may pay a visit there this weekend.

See post #1, “Honk 4 socialized medicine.”

In response, a Facebook group called, “Boycott Whole Foods,” ...

There a many quasi-Americans who would happily see our country ripped to shreds if only they could get a piece ripped off for themselves.

"A visual message meaning 'The wheels are coming off?'"

Or a visual message meaning don't drive stoned?

My experience with Whole Foods have been positive: first and foremost, they have an excellent, world-class cheese selection.

Also, their prepared foods, while not inexpensive, are generally very well done. It's a great place to splurge on an impromptu picnic.

Their bargains can be astonishing. The best deal that I have had on wine was at a Whole Foods --- I received a case price even on heavily discounted wine.

Whole Foods also has an excellent beer selection, and they stock more Belgian beers than most liquor stores.

Our family ate there tonight. Good food, fairly priced and no protesters. Pretty good for Chapel Hill!
