URGENT ACTION: Shop Whole Foods This Week
Buy ALL YOUR GROCERIES at WHOLE FOODS this week. I will shop the Whole Foods store at Clayton and Woods Mill tomorrow.
Whole Foods, the 10th largest grocery store in the country, has the most generous healthcare package in the industry. Yet the left–greedy, lazy, mindless, nasty hate-mongers that they are–has launched a boycott against the chain. Why?
Because the CEO dared to offer his company’s policy as an alternative to Obama’s socialized medicine push (for which he’s blowing $150,000,000 of your debt on advertising).
Read Whole Foods CEO John Mackey’s Op-Ed
Face it. The statists don’t care about helping people, insuring more people, or giving you more choices and lower costs for healthcare. The leftists want to USE healthcare as a vehicle to give Washington Politicians full control of your lives. As the left becomes panicked over losing this debate, their true motives emerge. The motive is socialism, not better healthcare. This is ideological warfare, and you better be armed to hilt with facts and passion.
Let’s leave these leftist whiners in the dust. If every libertarian, conservative, Republican, Ron Paul nut, independent, and Constitution Partier shops at Whole Foods this week, the liberal boycott will result in the best quarter in the company’s history.
If you can’t afford to do your weekly shopping there, at least buy some of their outstanding meat. (Their chicken breast, spinach, asiago cheese, and pine nut brats are to die for.) Buy their lump charcoal which leaves almost no ashes! Have lunch in the deli–best lunch in town, I promise. Buy yourself some treats. But SHOP AT WHOLE FOODS NOW!!!!
In the interest of full disclosure, Whole Foods did NOT pay me a penny to write this post.

Ron Paul never uses the type of language your organization uses, so I would say your claim that Ron Paul supporters are “nuts” is inaccurate. In fact, due to your juvenile language, I would write, you are the nutjob.
The Whole Foods example is a good model as is the Wal-Mart model, for people who are currently employed, but what about the unemployed? You remember them? They are the 9% of Americans not making the 30 hour per week Whole Food minimum. What about them? If the answer is reduce costs, but increase deductible; that’s no real answer. If one cannot afford the premium, how are they to afford a high deductible.
It’s very easy to poke holes in someone elses ideas, but to not offer workable solutions yourself, makes you out to be nothing but a whiner.
Are you a whiner or a solution finder? Apparently the Tea Party folks are the former.
The food prices at Whole Foods are outrageously high. No wonder they can offer such a sweet health package.
schizoidman,
First, by “Ron Paul nuts” I didn’t intend to disparage. I am a hockey nut, a freedom nut, etc. Sorry for the confusion–just one of my slang terms. Shorthand for “passionate supporter.”
Second, we have offered many alternatives to the healthcare crisis that do not involve slavery to the Washington politicians. Mr. Mackey’s sin was to offer yet another common sense solution that keeps your examinination room free of a government bureaucrat. That your smug, pervasive, and voluntary ignorance prevents you from clicking the link providing and reading that alternative indicates that people take you seriously at their own peril.
Cordially,
Bill
I don’t shop at Whole Foods, which I call “that foo-foo store down the street.” The prices are really high, and I get creeped out by some of the shoppers, some of whom remind me of the co-op shoppers when I lived in Boulder, Colorado in the 1970s. [Yawn, are we back to that again? Whatever.] But once a week, my husband buys the Saturday steak there, and sometimes he’s able to fool me into going with him (“I thought we were going to the hardware store.”)
So that’s how I feel about Whole Foods. Having said that, I WILL there this week, and I WILL let them know who they’re taking their money from. Besides, chances are those sandle-wearers won’t be in the store anyway.
–That’s a joke, I’m being provocative, I actually LOVE all those old hippies and wanna-be hippies and never-were hippies that shop Whole Foods. I AM an old hippy myself, I’ve just sort of moved to the Right a bit, sitting here on the Group W bench.
labwriter,
I went this afternoon. It was packed. Really packed. Either the St. Louis left didnt’ get the message or they don’t care.
We had the chicken brats with spinach, pine nuts, and FETA cheese (not asiago, as I mistakenly wrote earlier). I was top shelf. Unfortunately, they’ve stopped selling their great charcoal for the season. Apparently they don’t realize that St. Louisans grill 12 months out of the year.
I was just getting ready to go on line and ask people to support Whole Foods. It’s really encouraging to see businesses step up to the plate and oppose any/or all of this socialist administration.
Also stop by McArthur’s Bakery and pick up lunch,desserts or a sweet treat. Last time, I had the opportunity to thank him for his support at our rallys. Really nice man and great bakery products. Also got to talk to a liberal young man who seemed very interested in what our protests were about and gave him this website and gateway pundit.
Would like to see some young folks change their hearts and minds about what is going on in our country. The school system, universtities and the removal of anything God in the public arena are just some of the root causes of losing a generation of children.
Also thank Pat Dollard’s site for their support at the SEIU press last Saturday. They traveled a long way to be there and they have some great videos of (ACORN?) interviews
This bill 2749 just may regulate all small organic farmers and even the garden in your back yard.
We all need to be aware of the bill that just passed in the House; we have all been so focus on the healthcare bill.

“These insane lunatics in the House of Representatives have passed H.R. 2749: Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. This is one of THE most dangerous pieces of legislation next to the take over of health care and “cap and trade.” The complete take over of our food supply must be stopped. This unconstitutional legislation will make criminals of anyone who dares to grow food in their own yard. That bill has NOTHING to do with food safety. It has everything to do with total control by a totalitarian government apparatus. Stay in the face of your federal senator during this recess and tell them to throw out H.R. 2749 and leave us alone.
That bill is also all about the Tenth Amendment and let me quote from the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund:
“S.510 calls for federal regulation of how farmers grow and harvest product. Farmers selling food directly to local markets are inherently transparent and accountable to their customers, and there is no reason to impose these regulations on them.”
If you study all these bills in depth, there is no question this is the final thrust to Sovietize these united States of America. Those who don’t do a single minute of research or who want mother government to run their health care lash out at anyone who opposes such draconian laws. Millions of desperate Americans attack those of us who believe the Constitution matters and holding his/her member of Congress accountable for destroying this country. The U.S. Constitution means nothing to them. They do not understand that only a free market will create affordable health care and coverage like we used to have before Congress began passing laws that have made an absolute mess of the system. These are the voices of America’s destruction.”
H.R. 2117, the Health Freedom Protection Act, will end FDA and FTC censorship. Public support for the bill is critical. We the people have the right to seek prevention in our efforts to stay healthy even if it cuts into the profits of the big pharmaceutical companies that buy the favors of Congress
