Whole Foods Forum if you wish to leave a comment. The highly intelligent Libs are out in angry mob force with their gift of 4-letter words to CEO Mackey and references to Hitler signs used by the Right. Calls Whole Foods part of CORPORATE VAMPIRE AMERICA.

WSJ articleMackey offers up eight reforms that would greatly lower the cost of health care for everyone:

Mackey's opinion article started with a quote from former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."

Mackey: "A careful reading of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution will not reveal any intrinsic right to health care, food or shelter. That’s because there isn’t any. This “right” has never existed in America."

"Leave Whole foods my family will be there to pick up the slack," says: Organicmomof4 to boycotters.

I'm so tired, can any Freepers confirm his views? I've been spending loads of money at Hippie Foods and feeling kind of funny about it, not just because of the multi-pierced side show freaks and carnie rejects handling stuff I plan to eat.

I'd feel a smidge better knowing this was true. : )

We need honesty.

Have one really close by the office. Maybe I should walk over there for lunch.

These leftists really like whole foods. Where will they shop?
I will support WF all the more now.
It really appears that leftists are actually commies. It is true if you think health care is a right just because it is a necessity, so is food, shelter and who knows what else and that is communism. The government would have to supply every “need” to everyone. These leftist must be unable to connect the most obvious dots.
What isn't being talked about is that if these people get control it won't just be the old and very young who will be deemed as not worth the cost of their lives, but most assuredly, Conservatives.

I went into Whole Foods today and bought a few things. I left a comment supporting their CEO on my way out.

We neutralized one protester today by shopping at a Whole Foods.
They really have quality items, not cheap though.

Another thing one can do is register on the Whole Foods forum and post in support of Mr. Mackey.

I shop at Whole Foods because they have great stuff that I can’t find elsewhere, and it’s a GREAT place to watch people. Now I have a third reason to shop there!

We don’t go to Whole Foods. It’s full of aging hippies and the Birkenstock crowd, and the store and the people both smell bad. Plus the food is outrageously overpriced.

Safeway is lots better.

I’d like to support whole foods, but I really can’t see paying $5 for a head of lettuce.

I can’t afford to shop at Whole Foods regularly, but I like going there every now and then, particularly for the essential oils, candles and beauty products. It’s also a good place to get cheese with non-animal rennet.

So, do you think that the lefties placed Whole foods on their list of boycotting Glen Beck was their way of making us boycott Whole foods as well?

Which is it? Are they against Obamacare or are they boycotting Beck? Are they doing both? This is very confusing!

I want to support them for being against Obamacare and I want to boycott them for taking advertisement away from Beck....

Thanks for the common sense about ObamaCare & socialism...

John Mackey adds some great points to the debate.

I went shopping at Whole Foods today and left an encouraging note on their bulliten board for him.

I read the WSJ piece and thought it made a lot of sense. I’ll make a point of stopping at Whole Paycheck soon and help offset the leftie boycott. I like their selection of cheeses and can always find something I like. We belong to a local CSA farm, so we already have excellent local produce without shopping for it at a grocery.

Libs think that the Constitution and all Rights within are only for: Liberals, illegals, and terrorists.

Sigh. I wish we had a Whole Foods store in Knoxville. I’d throw some business their way. Kudos, Mr. Mackey, in honor of your bravery and commonsense, I would be a loyal customer.
