A whole buch of Liberals are now boycotting Whole foods because this guy had the audacity to give his opinion which includes several great points and shows how he is doing a good job of taking care of his own employees health care. Just in case you thought that the left actually cared about the well being of people and not this twisted version of nirvanna that they are seeking. Of course when the other side doesnt agree with something they are labeled "unamerican". Maybe that strict fundementlist GOP member Riot can enlighten us as to why people would feel the need to boycott a place that does a great job of providing healthcare for its employees? If you arent a trial lawyer, member of Acorn or an insurance company exec why would his plan sound bad?
No, sorry. I personally wouldn't boycott Whole Foods, because Mackey the far right-right-right Libertarian isn't the owner. It's a publically-owned company, I thought.

But if other consumers want to boycott due to the CEO's political opinions, that's certainly their choice.

People act on their conscience. Glenn Beck calls Obama a racist on TV, and Progessive Insurance, Geico, Proctor and Gamble, Lawyers.com pulled their advertisements from association with his show. Followed shortly by Healthy Choice, Radio Shack, Roche and Sanofi-Aventis.
