If there were a store near me, I would definitely shop there. If for no other reason than because the guy had the fortitude to speak his mind, and I can’t see a reason to deprive thousands of people their jobs because some A**hole wants a boycott of the company. What a senseless waste of humankind. Why don’t the Dems and the Libs realize they are on their last leg.
Just my opinion

@tfhr: tfhr–I don’t know how far you are from Annapolis but Whole Foods opened a new store there that is fantastic! I stopped there yesterday and business was booming.

We have a winner:

“It’s clear they care more about the power government control affords them than providing health care solutions.”

You’ve summed it all up in a single line. This single point should be used as a cudgel at every opportunity because it is undeniably true. No effort at tort reform because that would undermine the lucrative financial backing from the trial lawyers lobby and nothing for health insurance portability or an end to state levied restrictions on insurance providers because that would rob the leftists of their current “villain”.

I’ve been purposely stopping in the Whole Foods by us since this began. They have fresh corn from northwest Jersey which is delicious and frankly cheaper than ShopWrong. They also have a pretty good wine department.

I read Mackey’s op-ed:

I can’t find anything objectionable in it that would warrant the boycotts and venom being spewed at him and his company by left wing fascists.

His experience with providing responsible, cost effective health care to his employees is one which should be embraced if we are to find practical, bipartisan solutions to health care.

But then, I guess that explains why the left is angry at him. They have unmasked themselves. It’s clear they care more about the power government control affords them than providing health care solutions.

Someone should make a campaign commercial out of this example. It’s very illuminating.

There isn’t a Whole Foods where we live in Maryland – too upscale for us, I guess, or maybe we just eat too much BBQ over here – but there is one in Tysons Corner, VA, right along the way to Wolftrap, our summer, outdoor concert venue.

The parking lot usually looks like a BMW/Acura dealership, aside from my lone Jeep, but hey, it’s Northern Virginia, also known as the reason why VA is a blue state these days. I go there when I’m headed to Wolftrap because I like to watch the upscale but painstakingly “organic” patrons scout the aisles for “deals”, divine the merits of one store supported cause over another, debate bleached or unbleached flour in their crostini, and so forth, before they figure out how they can sneak off to Giant or Costco to purchase everything else they actually do need. I usually cap the experience by asking one of the clerks where I can find organic Cheetos or pork rinds.

I buy beer and ice for the concerts but now that I know that the veneer has been torn away from Whole Foods and that liberals are convulsing over the fact that a CEO might have a better idea about improving health care than BO, I may have to start buying olives or something from them. Why not if it’s going to a good cause, like paying wages to employees?

Thanks for the recipe! There’s a Whole Foods just a couple of miles away from my home, so I’ll definitely be paying them a visit this week.
