Liberals Threaten Whole Foods Boycott

Isn't that kinda like saying "If Bush wins, I'm moving to Canada"? And yet, they never did..

So in this ABCNews article here, we learn that many "liberals" are "enraged" at Whole Foods CEO Mackey's WSJ op-ed against Obamacare.

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"I will never shop there again," vowed Joshua, a 45-year-old blogger, who asked that his last name not be published.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."

I'm sorry but I simply can not believe that people who go to the same grocery store nearly every day of the week because they believe it reinforces their (illogical and absurd) ideals are going to be able to quit cold-free-range-turkey.

Besides, buried on the second page of this report is the fact that there are Whole Food shoppers who do support Mr. Mackey's opposition to Obamacare. I'm pretty sure Whole Foods will survive a liberal boycott.
