Show Whole Foods your support by doing all of your shopping on one of their fine stores.

The place is still chock full of Obama-bots.

Well I guess the metro crowd will have to shop elsewhere for their tofu. I, for one, am going to start spending more time at Whole Foods.

I drove down to the Whole Foods in Glendale today (115 miles round trip) but I did some other shopping on side. The store was super busy. The liberal’s boycott is a farce. The lot was full of high end cars with zero stickers on them.

I will continue to support true capitalism and make consumer choices based upon consumer-perceived value.

If Whole Foods can sell 80% ground beef for $1.69/lb., I might visit their store.

If they choose to pay 100% of their employee's health care costs, and pay inventory costs to stock "organic" "fair-trade" starfruit (picked with the left hand in the light of a full moon), so be it... BUT if those business practices make ground beef cost $3.79/lb., I will not shop there.

The better question would be what states are they NOT in. :)

Colorado has about 20 of them here alone.

Go to Whole Foods and check on the locations...there are TONS of them. That’s because their choices are so very delicious. Looks good, smells wonderful and we love it.
