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 agree completely. It’s the best market in town, although far from the cheapest! (There’s a reason it’s called “Whole Paycheck”.) Still, we shop there weekly, and we’re tragically middle-class. The quality of produce and other foods there is superb, and often grown locally, ensuring maximum freshness. Sure, the parking lot is encrusted with Obama-stickered luxury cars, but we crunchy cons in our used wheels have a presence, too. It’s a great place to shop.
Thanks for posting that... I shop their too. Their vitamins are very affordable and with a great selection. I also love the high quality food they sell. I have a pro life bumper sticker on my car and I’m sure I get the dirty looks in the parking lot. Oh well.
The store I go to is hardly a bastion for liberals, mostly Republican territory. I've been shopping there for 15 yrs and will continue to do so. I also sent an email to John Mackey expressing my support.
