Mackey has too simple a solution for Obots I guess.

As I see it, Whole Foods is very similar to the US Health Care system. It costs a little more than the average grocery store, but it also delivers higher quality products and more specialized products than you get from other markets.
The people who shop at Whole Paycheck want the freedom to spend an extra $100 a week (or whatever) on groceries, ostensibly because they're "healthier". Yet, when it comes to actual health care, they don't want you to have the ability to buy better care for more money.
If you apply their health care philosophy to food, everyone in the US would eat the same food prepared in the same fashion by the same government agency. It would be the school lunch program for every American and every meal. And if you're sick of tater tot casserole, you won't have the option of buying organic arugula.

I'm pleased Mackey came out and spoke against Obama's ridiculous health/death care plan. This plan has to be defeated. I will keep praying that it does. And while I have been (so far) the only car at Whole Foods with a large printed "CHOOSE LIFE" bumper sticker on it that I've seen anyway, I now look forward to others joining me. Maybe Mackey will even start selling Sarah Palin t-shirts next to his stack of Obama ones.:) Wouldn't that be a hoot?

My husband has Meniere’s disease, requiring a strict low-sodium, no-nitrite diet. Any slip-ups cause weeks or months of tinnitus and violent vertigo. If Whole Foods weren’t nearby with their amazing variety of “safe” food, we’d have to move to where there was one. We are very grateful to Whole Foods.
You can spend your “Whole Paycheck” there if you want to; the specialty products and gourmet choices abound and tempt. But, you don’t have to at all. Along with the wide variety of food is a wide range of prices.
I’ve about had it with the stupid, one-dimensional hypocritical and fascist Left. If any of them are picketing my Whole Foods when I go there today, they’ll get an earful. Might even get hit over the head with a very large, organic, locally grown cucumber.

If you want to support Whole Foods, here are some ideas.
1. Contact your local store manager and express your support. If you’re shopping there, let the Obama lovers who work there know you are concerned with extreme far Left tactics.
2. E mail Whole Foods at wholefoods.com.
3. John Mackey’s e mail address is: john.mackey@wholefoods.com
4. Leave a message at corporate headquarters: 512 477 5566.
5. Fax them at 512 482 7000.
Lastly, the other great reason for doing things like this is that it feels good! By expressing my opinion, I felt like I was doing something, and was a great antidote for powerlessness.
And anyway I really do love the salad bar there (not arugula though).

Dems don't want to hear from anyone except their paid “rent a crowds”... who strangely echo them exactly. We have become a lowlife banana republic.
