The upscale liberal shoppers who frequent Whole Foods Market were plenty crabby after Senate Mitch McConnell was honored as “Person of the Year” by WholeFoods magazine.
As it turns out, however, the magazine serving the “natural products industry” has no connection to the supermarket giant known for its organic meats and produce.
Whole Foods — the market, not the magazine — spent the Thanksgiving holiday weekend explaining the difference on social media to irate consumers steamed by the McConnell honor.
“Thanks for reaching out,” said the organic grocer in myriad responses on Twitter. “Whole Foods Market is not affiliated with this publication.”
Tempers boiled over Friday after Mr. McConnell posted the cover photo from WholeFoods magazine showing that he had been named “2019 Person of the Year” for his contributions to the hemp industry.
“I was recognized as the most influential person in the natural products industry, specifically because of my work to legalize industrial #hemp for farmers in Kentucky and around the country,” Mr. McConnell tweeted.

I wonder if those loopy liberals realize that McConnell would have been primaried out in his last election if it wasn’t for Democrats crossing over to vote for him?
Will the Washington Times and conservatives in general quit calling these tyrants “Liberals”? They have NOTHING to do with “liberty” and the historical backdrop is irrelevant. The Left deals in lies and misuse of words including what they are called by the Right. The Right falls into their trap WAY too many times.
Call them what they REALLY are: LEFTISTS.
Better is Delusional Lying Leftists.
Whole Paycheck isn’t related to the magazine? OK then.
It would be interesting to see the reaction of the back to nature granola heads if they were asked what they thought of transgenderism. What’s more unnatural than messing with whats “down there” and pumping someone up with more testosterone and/or estrogen than one’s body was NATURALLY designed to handle. It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature, they tell us. Unless there’s some drug free, holistic non surgical approach to chopadickoffames and addadicktomes?
It’s not even close to being the same logo. How could anybody get this confused.? And do these knee jerk reactors even know what the term “whole foods” means? It is in no way exclusive to the Whole Foods Market, which, by the way, has gone downhill since Amazon took over.
I think I’ll start a magazine and call it Planned Parenthood. My first edition will declare Sarah Palin “Woman of the Century”.
Leftists against legalized hemp I suppose.
Didn’t know that was a big group.
Stoopid is what stoooopid does....and they be stooooooooopid.
I am goign to use this as Troll Bait for my liberal acquaintances!!!
The supermarket should change its name to either BEZOS or AMAZON ... or maybe AMAZOS.
You are exactly right, FRiend Jim.
The only time I use “liberal” is with the compound modifier “old-fashioned,” which I apply to left-leaning but still rational politicos and pundits of the Hubert Humphrey, Scoop Jackson, Daniel Patrick Moynihan mold.
Today, the only people on the left I have any respect for are Alan Dershowitz, Camille Paglia, Morton Kondracke, and a local attorney friend of mine.
What can I say about old-fashioned liberals? I may not have agreed with their answers all that often but I must admit they raised some legitimate questions. Just being fair here.
Leftists ask the wrong questions and their answers invariably involve taking away people’s God-given rights to life, liberty, and property. It’s simply astonishing that so many people could be wrong about absolutely everything — and back it up with so much deceit and brutality.
Yes it is and it's hard to take. But the Bible prophesied that would happen in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1-9). Our challenge is to stay focused on His Light as we fight the good fight of faith and freedom.
The Dark Left is fueled by the spirit of antichrist and those who don't turn to Jesus will catapult into the utterly unimaginable and horrific seven-year tribulation (we believers will be with Jesus in Heaven) and they will all be killed.
Oops...stupid leftists... (But I’m repeating myself, there’s no smart leftists)
Who, with any logical reasoning power, would think that a organization connected to Jeff Bezos would ever honor Mitch McConnell?
The leftists are not even remotely grounded in reality.
Now I need some conservative journalists and conservative editors...and we might have something GREAT...
Yes, indeed.
Homosexuality is un-natural at its core — it goes against nature’s primal drive in every species to reproduce. Nothing to do with morals, religion or preference; it’s just un-natural.
All the ‘naturalist’ proggies can not, dare not speak that natural truth. They’re caught, yet again, in their utter hypocrisy.
