Whole Foods Fight


John Mackey, the chief executive of Whole Foods, put out his own plan for healthcare reform over the weekend. Alhough his reforms arent complete, they will add much needed improvements to the system. He is for, among other things, tort reform, removing state laws that reduce private insurance company competition, and increasing tax deductions for those who want to donate money to needy families for health insurance. It seems however that John forgot exactly which company he is running becuase while his ideas are desperatly needed the solutions he proposed fall on the right side of the spectrum. All the organic food buying hippies that drive BMW hybrids are livid. The hate mail written on recycled paper is just pouring in, and people are threatening to stop purchasing $80/bottle free trade hand lotion made by sexually progressive nuns in El Salvador just to spite John's ideas. read here.

  1. Government provided healthcare is our birthright as Americans, and Mackey is trying to deny that to us. I am sick of being screwed over by greedy, evil CEOs. So, I'm fighting back.

    I refuse to shop at that chain until Mackey is gone and until Whole Foods supports single payer.
