The Whole Foods boycott meets pushback….
It is a “buycott.” Some angry people are calling for a boycott of Whole Foods because the CEO came out against President Obama’s healthcare plan in an op-ed in the “Wall Street Journal.” The CEO suggested a different plan.
But now people who support the Whole Foods CEO are fighting back against the boycotters of Whole Foods, calling for a buy-cott of the company. OK, what’s a buycott?
Apparently these buycotters were well read…
They had all read John Mackey’s editorial in the “Wall Street Journal.” They all thought that the points that he gave were fantastic, and they were absolutely flabbergasted as to why anybody would stand up and want to punish this guy simply because he just had a difference of opinion, because he had an alternative viewpoint.
They haven’t lived in Boulder if they don’t understand why people (i.e. progressives) would want to do that.
