Whole Fools? You meant Whole Foods, right?

[Kaslin]

[sionnsar]

So. A Whole Foods recently opened a block or two from my place of work. Do I patronize it or not?

[Sister_T]

Never mind! I thought it was a typo. Sorry!

[Kaslin]

No that is the correct title. The IBD staff probably meant the fools that are boycotting Whole Food

[FlashBack]

Sounds like the left attacking the left...I say we get some popcorn and enjoy the show.

[BunnySlippers]

Bup

[Sister_T]

Yeah, I checked that after I posted. Won’t do that again. But now, because I pinged the Admin Moderator, the title’s been changed.

*hangs head low and sulks in corner now*

[Kaslin]

You have to read the whole editorial. It’s definitely the lunatics that are boycotting Whole Foods IBD is talking about

[OrangeHoof]

Mackey’s mistake was to criticize what socialist liberals want to do to the rest of us when his chief clientele are socialist liberals. It shouldn’t chill CEOs of other businesses from speaking out unless their market is based primarily of socialist liberals. It’s called “biting the hand that feeds you”.

Here's another perspective:

Schlussel says no.

[Kaslin]

I asked the Admin moderator to change the title back

[sionnsar]

Thanks. It’s pricey anyway.

[muawiyah]

I want the Leftwingtards OUT OF WHOLE FOODS. I shop there and all they do is stink it up. And they play with the food!

[This I Wonder32460]

Like “sionnsar” I too have to say thank you for supplying Schlussel’s article. Not shopping at Whole Foods will continue to save me 6 or more miles of gas usage.

[peeps36]

Maybe the far left fruitcakes snuggle up to islam because they both have the desire to take away the free speech rights of anyone who disagrees with them. If they keep pushing for a fight they're going to get their asses whipped. Most liberals fight like girls.

[rightwingcrazy]

Maybe that article deserves its own thread. I had no idea before that Whole Foods was involved in anything besides profiting from food sales.

[Balding_Eagle]

That’s disappointing to find out.

His reforms are exactly the reforms needed for a free market solution to our healthcare problems.

He also managed to hit every problem with a solution, and didn’t offer a ‘solution’ to any problems that don’t exist.

Sure, and drive a car with a PALIN sticker to their parking lot. And speak up to the pleasant checker, and say how much you appreciate the good sense of Whole Foods CEO. Just don’t plan to do your week’s shopping there. It is great for produce and specialty items. Their fish is first-rate, for example.
