Love America? Boycott Whole Foods

Why does the owner of Whole Foods use his money and influence to try and defeat healthcare? Is it because he's.....EVIL? Or is it because he thinks if people can afford his store then Blue Cross is a cakewalk. This video demonstrates how utterly awesome is this generation of young folks. I adore them as much as I loathe Whole Paycheck.

Amazing. Like the Yippees -- Abbie Hoffman lives. That guy reading a flyer at the end looks like Allen Taylor!

This is inspirational, this generation does have a future with people like this. Keep on!! I never really liked Whole Foods anyways, what a hypocrite!! Thanks, your blog is an interesting, informative, honest and humourous source.

They recently got into some trouble up here for Job discrimination. I always hated that place, and now they're giving me reasons. Thanks for the vid, girlfriend

According to their website:

Our Core Values
Original Store
(AKA BULLSHIT)
The following list of core values reflects what is truly important to us as an organization. These are not values that change from time to time, situation to situation or person to person, but rather they are the underpinning of our company culture. Many people feel Whole Foods Market is an exciting company of which to be a part and a very special place to work. These core values are the primary reasons for this feeling, and they transcend our size and our growth rate. By maintaining these core values, regardless of how large a company Whole Foods Market becomes, we can preserve what has always been special about our company. These core values are the soul of our company.

* Selling the Highest Quality Natural and Organic Products Available
* Satisfying and Delighting Our Customers
* Supporting Team Member Happiness and Excellence
* Creating Wealth Through Profits & Growth
* Caring about our Communities & Our Environment
* Creating ongoing win-win partnerships with our suppliers
* Promoting the health of our stakeholders through healthy eating education.

Core Values

AKA THE TRUTH

Getting really rich by overcharging for everything and screwing our employees
