WF has better meat, poultry, and fish hands down than brand name super markets. Their produce is pricy, but is top quality. WF also treats their workers well and they put up a fight against Obamacare.

WF took over the natural and organic market in Greater Boston from stores like Bread and Circus and Erewhon. Whole Foods brought with them the National chain store model which crushed the competition. They also grew a market far greater than that they displaced. I think good business practice and not progressivism is central to their core model.

I do see some strange people shopping there.

Plus, I think it was at the company’s Austin store - the company’s headquarters. A pastor breaking the “Do not bear false witness” commandment for any reason... whether it’s SJW-ness or $$... bad news.

Except when it comes to Obamacare.

You’re either with the progs 100% or you’re not in at all.

Whole Foods fell out of favor with the extreme left sometime back... they messed up on some orthodoxy... Remember - the left are haters and they don't let their stooges get out of line.

I don’t think Whole Foods in progressive. Their CEO is libertarian and it is non-union. It is just that they market to liberals and scam them into to paying premium prices for food.

Whole Foods is actually formed and owned by some Republican/Libertarian type from what I understand.
