Whole Foods CEO John Mackey wrote a brilliant factual editorial in the Wall Street Journal elaborating on a simple fix to 'cure' most of the ills of America's Healthcare industry. Fixes that mostly had been implemented at WF, saving the company millions. Union thugs and ACORN now are boycotting WFMI! So sales have increased recently, now that the riff-raff no longer shop there.
“Who are these don’t know?”
Those who are completely oblivious to the world around them.
THe company didn’t issue the op-ed, the CEO did. He did so not to attack Obama, but to offer a better plan, one he truly thought would provide health care for everybody and save money in the process.
But because that plan obviously isn’t Obama’s, the left believes he has committed treason and wants to punish him.
And frankly, I don’t really care — he’s a liberal, and he should understand the people he gives money to are ready to stab him in the back at a moment’s notice.
I actually drive 40 miles round trip to get to the closest one to me. Now I will do so more often JUST because of THIS!
Its 94% NO now!
And leave a nice comment explaining why she is wrong.
“No” is at 94% 1:28 pm cdt
I loved the way she labeled the CEO’s editorial as “ridiculous” but never gave any reasons why nor had anything constructive to offer of her own.
I wish Whole Foods wasn’t so expensive or I’d shop there more often. When is the buyout? I’ll make a point of going there that day, at least.
95%
If John Mackey writes to the editor, as 'John Mackey'; that's fine and good. But, he didn't do that. No, John Mackey signed off on the letter as the CEO of Whole Earth Foods, so instead of representing a personal opinion, he used his title, wealth and property to set forth the opinion of his company (which he is free to do).
If John Mackey had written the letter, it wouldn't have gathered any movement. However, when John invoked the power, name and position of Whole Earth Foods into his editorial piece, well then the company is now a politically active enterprise. And, as such, is the target for boycotts and all kinds of press (positive and negative).
Again, if the purpose of a company is to generate a profit; how much money is generated when a company chooses to politicize itself?
It’s back down to 94%.
I don’t know if the expense is due to the relatively low volume, or the very typical higher quality of their produce - probably a mixture of each, I would suppose.
Like anything else, you get what you pay for. Want pretty, but bland and tasteless fruits and veggies? Wal-Mart has them in abundance.
Want veggies and fruits bursting with flavor? Well, that is going to cost you, and Whole Earth Foods has those in limited supplies.
