"other brands do not inspire the level of fanaticism that Whole Foods does"
Yeah, if you DON'T WANT CHEMICALLY-INDUCED, STEROIDS-FATTENED food you are just nuts, 'murka!
I know so because the Boston Globe (via the Washington Post) told me so:
"Whole Foods’ fans can’t digest CEO’s remarks; Health care op-ed sparks protests among customers" by Ylan Q. Mui, Washington Post | August 20, 2009
WASHINGTON - John Mackey, the chief executive, has described himself as a free-market libertarian and has long been known as a maverick in the industry. He has cut his salary to $1 and has imposed caps on executive wages but opposes labor unions.
It depends on which ones when it comes to the Globe.
Recently, he was under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for posting anonymously on a Yahoo Finance message board dedicated to Whole Foods. The agency has ruled out any action.
WTF?
Someone going to investigate a NEWSPAPER and THEIR ANONYMOUS SOURCES?
Mackey was unavailable for an interview, but on his blog he blamed the column’s headline - “The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare’’ - for sparking some of the furor. He noted that his piece did not mention the president....
In a post to the D.C. for Obama listserv urging members to boycott Whole Foods, Thomas Goldstein wrote. “We want CEOs to understand that they benefit from promoting progressive policies and face costs when they take right-wing stands.’’
The ZIONIST CONTROL of this society makes you sick.
They have stormed Twitter, Facebook, and the blogosphere to vent their rage at Mackey, the chief executive.
Oh, I see, it is OKAY to VENT RAGE in an APPROVED, AGENDA-PUSHING CAUSE!!!
In an op-ed column in The Wall Street Journal last week, he argued for health care savings accounts and declared that health care is not an intrinsic right - ideas with a conservative bent, which made Whole Foods’ liberal customer base go ballistic.
Oh, so the MSM STIRRED it up with a PROVOCATIVE HEADLINE, huh -- and the LIBERALS CAME like a SHARK TO BLOOD!
Of course, it is OKAY if the LEFT/LIBERAL, CONTROLLED-OPPOSITION (because that's what all lefties are, sorry, world; no one comes to that conclusion more painfully than this former died-in-the-wool brainwashed leftist from Massachusetts, readers) goes "ballistic."
Couldn't the MSM FIND a BETTER WORD?
They are even talking about a boycott. And who knows? Maybe some will have to rethink shopping at Wal-Mart.
Take THAT INSULT, LEFT LIBERALS! And this is YOUR PAPER? Really?
Unions once attacked the retailer’s labor and benefits policies, but Wal-Mart has become the nation’s largest purveyor of organic products and recently espoused a position on health care reform that is widely considered progressive.
Yeah, WAL-MART is now the FOOD MODEL, earther-crunchers!!
“A lot of people have been paying a premium for the Whole Foods brand for years,’’ said Mark Rosenthal, a playwright living in Massachusetts who founded the Boycott Whole Foods group a few days ago. It has nearly 14,000 members. “A lot of people are sad to look at this corporation and see that it is just like any other, if not worse.’’
Then DON'T BUY THEIR FOOD!
Go eat the SAME S*** that is poured down American mouths!
Mackey is not the first corporate executive to wade into the contentious health care debate, but other brands do not inspire the level of fanaticism that Whole Foods does.
Have you ever noticed only certain groups are considered fanatics in my jewspaper, world? Ever notice a Jew or a Zionist is NEVER REFERRED TO that way?
Safeway chief executive Steve Burd wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal in June that also called for market-based reforms in health care with nary a social media ripple.
I guess LIBERALS don't shop there, huh?
Btw, WTF is "LIBERAL" Whole Foods -- as if FEEDING ONESELF with HEALTHY FOOD is a PARTISAN ISSUE -- being led by a COMPASSIONATE LIBERTARIAN anyway? What HYPOCRISY!
Of course, Republicans like me don't worry; we are FINE with EATING POISON, 'eh!?
In some cases, the pushback has worked. Wal-Mart was thrust into the health care debate, following vigorous campaigns by labor unions.
Oh, I see. Wal-Mart was MADE to DO IT -- as oppossed to the IMPLICATION ABOVE! Thanks, WaPo, for the distortion!
The retailer has spent several years removing the tar and feathers....
--more--"
It's time for lunch.
Think I'll drive down to the Whole Foods store and dine in the cafe.
Whatever you do, Do Not Eat at the Boston Globe!
The reasons being you can't flush the toilets if you have to go later (a virtual certainty).

Oh, I'm sorry; am I being insulting?
What you give is what you get, Globe.
