If the liberals and aged hippies abandon Whole Fools...Er, I ment Foods, then who will shop there?

[LibWhacker]

Always wanted to shop there. But they’re 30 or 40 miles away. Guess I’m going to have to make a special trip.

[rockrr]

I posted my support to John Mackey on the whole Foods website thinking that they didn’t have a presence in my area. Just now I googled them and discovered that they have a store about 30 miles from me. I am going to work it into my travel plans to be visiting and shopping there.

If a lib says don’t do it you know that I’ll be there!

I think there should just be a template made with the phrase, "LIBERALS ATTACK _______________".

What is true, but has never been said in so many words is, Liberals love to BITCH. They bitch about everything...it's like attending Q&A Day the National Institute of Bitching.

The best defense is for every individual to possess one simple thing....PRINCIPLES.

I know that 96.3% of statistics are made up on the spot, but with any IQ at all, even ACORN members should see that 99.99% of liberals bitching is pure B.S.

They are the victims of poor parenting and social entitlement programs who are so...so..."spoiled' (for lack of a better word) that they feel entitled and demand constant attention...not unlike our current pres_ent zer0.

Three rules should apply to anything uttered, groaned, bitched, written, said, or implied by a liberal:

(1) Consider the source;
(2) Consider their vast history of lies and "misspeaks"; (2) If the truth would do liberals any good...they would use it.

There is another thing to bear in mind, when a liberal speaks...s/he wants something. It may be your vote, your money, your freedom, or that new flat-screen TV you just bought...but they invaribly want somthing...and FREE.

And lastly, when it comes to liberals, forget all the B.S. about "global warming", "green", the "environment", "cap & trade", "healthcare", "stimulus", etc...just FOLLOW THE MONEY and/or quest for POWER, and you'll find all the answers.

Democrats never do anything FOR the "American people"...they do it for their select GROUP of people, campaign benefactors, and themselves.

I've been following politics for over 40 years now...and the evidence I've seen bears true witness to the aforesaid statements. Check it out.

Other than the clientele, there is nothing liberal about Whole Foods. Mackey is a libertarian, philosophically and he runs the company accordingly. I have been happy to shop there and will continue to. It’s great, high quality food and a wide variety of it.

"I thought when you started that you'd be another person attacking me. I am so grateful for your support."

MoveOn people are so despicable. I wonder what they think they're going to get out of this.

"As a leftist up until last year.."

Such “qualifications” are usually enough for me to continue reading only for the purpose of fine tuning a hate filled reply. But you talked me out of it. Good stuff on every level. Soo.. you were never a Lib. Nope. Your claim is stagecraft, just as you presented to the store mgr. Very good. I love deceit.

I’m going to do the things you suggest.

[I see my hands]

What will Helen Goode do?

[smoothsailing]

Given that the Left eats their own, that offers the possibility of many more conservatives!

Now that's a happy prospect!

[Deagle]

You know, I could understand boycotting a business for a good cause, but come on - liberals boycotting a liberal business for saying something that is against Obama Care...please...

These folks have really got to get a life...

Yes..Idiots all, but at least they are their idiots, not ours.

[Yaelle]

I’ll spend the same ton of money next week there that we spent last week. It’s not called Whole Paycheck for nothing! I love Whole Foods. It’s not perfect, you still have read all the packaging to avoid some bad stuff, but the wonderful organic produce, dairy, and meats are worth it!

[aquila48]

Thanks for the links - I just sent mackey an email congratulating him on his opinion piece.

I think his ideas have a lot of merit and I would love to see them implemented. They would be easy to implement, would empower the consumer and thus introduce some real market forces, and would not need new government bureaucracies controlling our lives.

[Liberty Valance]

[uncommonsense]

Whole foods has great produce (they purchase locally when possible), great beef and chicken, bakery goods, large selection of beer, prepared foods, etc. But, we call them "Whole Paycheck". Sometimes they have very good sales, but the large variety and freshness, plus living wages paid across the food chain - all cost.

Now that my cash flow is back to a much better level, I'll make sure to visit the original store here in Austin. Since I have so many food allergies, WF is the logical choice.

[Paladin2]

WF is a parallel universe.

[presently no screen name]

Whole Foods is great and so is their service. Since their lot is always full, I go early. It’s a ten minute trip to do some quality shopping.

[Fawnn]

If you get to Whole Foods, try the Wellshire Farms center-cut, thick-cut, applewood-smoked bacon. It’s awesome! (No added nitrates.) When I’m lucky, I get my nephew to bring me some from their Detroit-area store.

[DeaconRed]

Whole Foods has some seseme sticks that are wonderful.
I will drop by and get some. They are good. Once I eat one I can't stop. The rest of their stuff is way to over priced for me, and I can't stand the "HIPPIES" that work and shop there. My knucles itch wanting to connect with some long haired magot. . . . .

[coop71]

I used to love shopping at WF in Raleigh, NC! Did without for several years when we lived in WV and was so glad when we moved to Greensboro, as we could head over to Winston-Salem to shop at the one over there. That happiness was short lived. The WF in Winston-Salem is small, crowded, and full of astonishingly rude people. Every time we’d go, I was amazed at the level of rudeness from other customers. It’s as if they all walked through the doors and magically become the only customer in the store.

So, no WF for me until we move back to Raleigh next year.
