| Moonbat fratricide: leftys boycott Whole Foods after CEO writes anti-Obamacare op-ed |
| 2009-08-14 |
| Joshua has been taking the bus to his local Whole Foods in New York City every five days for the past two years. This week, he said he'll go elsewhere to fulfill his fresh vegetable and organic produce needs. "I will never shop there again," vowed Joshua, a 45-year-old blogger, who asked that his last name not be published. Like many of his fellow health food fanatics, Joshua said he will no longer patronize the store after learning about Whole Foods Market Inc.'s CEO John Mackey's views on health care reform, which were made public this week in an op-ed piece he wrote for The Wall Street Journal. Michael Lent, another Whole Foods enthusiast in Long Beach, Calif., told ABCNews.com that he, too, will turn to other organic groceries for his weekly shopping list. "I'm boycotting [Whole Foods] because all Americans need health care," said Lent, 33, who used to visit his local Whole Foods "several times a week." "Whole Foods is the fascist tool of KKKorporate racism! Death to your organic vegetables! A plague on your wheat germ! May your brown rice burn in Hell!!" |

| #2 "He added that many of the country's health care problems are "self-inflicted" and are preventable through "proper diet, exercise, not smoking, minimal alcohol consumption and other healthy lifestyle choices." -100% right - I like this guy, I'll shop there if Joshy prissy-pants wants to boycott. |

| #1 Kind of interesting and sad - really. I like Whole Foods, although I can't really afford to shop there regularly. It's a treat that I save for special occasions. There is a reason the chain is referred to as "Whole Paycheck"! Their bulk foods are definitely a bargain - their bulk olive oil was very good, and quite competitive. I rather favor their San Antonio competition, as regards the soy-milk, and honey and olive oil... Sun Harvest Farms. Organic, a good price overall, and not half the attitude. |
