Where I live there are fewer Obama stickers than ever...except at the Whole Foods parking lot. Inside are employees that haven’t bathed in a month, wearing African garb and Birkenstocks. I wouldn’t give my store the time of day.

“American track star Lacey O’Neal coined the term girlcott in the context of the protests by male African American athletes during the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Speaking for Black women athletes, she advised that the group would not “girlcott” the Olympic Games as they were still focused on being recognized. “Girlcott” appeared in Time magazine in 1970, and then later was used by retired tennis player Billie Jean King in The Times in reference to Wimbledon to emphasize her argument regarding equal pay for women players.”

the term boycott comes from Charles C. Boycott, an English land agent

I've already learned something new today. Thanks.

I shopped in Whole Foods last week (I go there about once a month, usually to pick up some specialty items) and while I was on the check out line, I went into a loud monologue to the cashier (who hadn't read his column, but was aware of the boycott plans) about how what he wrote was a very intelligent discourse on the subject, how lefties who are mere ideologoues dont know any better than to be upset with anyone who isn't completely in confromity with their agenda, how I would be proud to work for Mackey, and I added that my reading of a "conservative message board" (this one) indicated to me that he was about to pick up a LOT of new customers nationwide.

She promised she would read what he wrote when she got home, and as I walked out I noticed a bunch of employees and customers watching me (this was in blue country- Long Island.)

It’s hard to keep up with the commie boycotts. First Trader Joe’s. I started shopping there after the boycott was announced. I’d never heard of the place before that. Pretty good place to shop.

I’ll have to look up this Whole Foods now and see it they exist in my area.

That whole mentality is a rip-off to American consumers. I’m sorry, but it has to be said. This is another “fad” and in about 5 years, someone will finally “test” these foods to find they are no healthier than homegrown or fresh produce and homemade foods...I’m not talking about all the packaged food that is hardly suitable for dogs. (No offense intended for dogs, you understand!) So-called bio-foods and whole foods are just another market-manipulating advertising gimmick. Even now, some are beginning to realize the scam.
