John Mackey, who's the CEO of WFM, recently wrote an Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal with his recommendations about national healthcare. Because in his piece he criticized President Obama's program and offered a list of alternatives, many shoppers who'd previously been loyal to Whole Foods organized a boycott. The reasoning seems to be that many who regularly shop there also hold liberal political views. Those who participated in the boycott found Mackey's disagreement with the President to be distasteful. Why Mackey thought he knew something about healthcare––I don't know. What healthcare has to do with the price of organic rice milk––I don't know. Here's a link to the New York Times blog piece about the whole thing: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/17/whole-foods-fight/?scp=1&sq=john%20mackey%20boycott&st=cse As far as I’m concerned, there’s not really any problem with Whole Foods.
