Thanks for the info & link.
The other paradox is conservatives, who should be practicing Mackeys philosophy as one means of contributing to a rational health care system, as well as their own health, are as rare as three dollar bills in such whole foods establishments.
Couldn't agree more! Unfortunately the closest Whole Foods to me is more than 100 miles away or I'd be there weekly. John Mackey clearly understands the science behind a healthy diet. If Americans would only wake up to the diet propaganda delivered to us by the USDA and start eating a healthy diet our national health care costs would plummet. Why so many otherwise intelligent and informed conservatives ignore the science baffles me.
Bears repeating!
Sticking your fingers in your ears and stamping your feet will not prolong your life! - The FDA is not here to help.
I like your list of 8 essentials to save the nation. As to: “In this “supposed” recession, I see blacks driving around in Cadillac Escalades and BMW’s”, I’m sure you see plenty of whites driving around in their fancy cars too, in this supposed recession, right, and what of it? People haven’t yet given up their wheels, but that’s certainly coming also. People are just really starting to hunker down.
that other liberal groups attack Whole Foods is just bizzare, and begs the question, what is thier mtovation for health care reform.

“It ain’t over until it’s over.”
(Wait until the election cycle gets to the wire. You’ll see a marked change in the opinions of all those “brilliant” Democrats out there.”
IMHO
I’m all for winning elections - or having electoral success - but I’m also for the cleaning up of the Conservative message - which I think we’re seeing now, on a wholesale basis...that will accrue its own benefits long term to this nation.
Thanks neverdem.
and thanks Gabz and Mrs. Don-o for this one:

The 7 “Black” careers.
When I lived in Florida, the nearest Whole Foods (in Winter Park) was always full of customers. We have one here in Lexington (they bought out a local health food store last year), but as you probably know, most of Kentucky is quite conservative; we were the first state to vote “red” on Election Day in 2008. Imagine the kind of business they’d do if they catered to conservatives, rather than liberals.
:’) If they catered to Al Gore, they’d have to change the name to Hole Foods. ;’)
Alinsky and his ilk never had any use for “liberals” who believed in free speech. To him, they were just useful to achieve short term objectives. Liberals are always duped by Leftists, they are either too ignorant, too ashamed to admit it, if they ever do.
Obama has brought this realization to many more liberals than any other President.
You’re being kind.
