I want one of these!!!!

I totes thought this was plastic but ITS NOT!

For burgers, I am a big fan of R.F. O'Sullivan's in Somerville. I think they are better than Bartley's

@beth1 ... my child no.... my parents on the other hand did get that call because I called my 8th grade home economics teacher a...... not so nice word (hope you're happy @Amandarama), for slowing my roll.

We were told we could make anything we wanted, to see where our cooking skills were. I wanted to make pommes dauphinoise of course I didn't know they were called pommes dauphinoise, at the time I called them scalloped potatoes au gratin. Other students were making scrambled eggs, toast, hot cocoa.

When I pulled out potatoes, she (the teacher) asked what I was doing. When I told her she said (in a condescending tone), why don't you do something like scrambled eggs or toast... That's when I had my little Gordon moment... and a sore arse for about a week after, compliments of my dad.

I love bratty kids! Go little Gordon Go!

As a teacher I am fairly confident that this child has heard, seen and/or said worse in the school yard. I have heard first grade students using innumerable vulgarities in the "appropriate" context. If he has good parents, this kid has discussed the role he is playing and the swearing involved.

I too thought Whole Foods was expensive BUT
I WAS WRONG
My mother needs gluten free foods, we'd been shopping at Meijer & Kroger but their selection was poor so I checked at Whole Foods.
The had all of the same items PLUS more, the only difference was that they were all CHEAPER at Whole Foods - & by $2.50 to $3.00
I started a list of items I purchased frequently IE canned coconut milk
anyway with a list of 50 items I started a chart (Yes I may have too much time on my hands, anyway)
after 4 weeks I discovered that Whole foods was ALWAYS CHEAPER than Meijer or Kroger on the exact same items.
I was Shocked
I've come to the conclusion that I spend more at Whole Foods only because I buy all those wonderful extras

@dasmueller - It's totally political.

In summation:
I believe the reason his customers are choosing to "boycott" the company is because the CEO's (whom runs the company) points-of-view are contradictory to a typical "liberal/democratic" stereotype/mindset that politically-eco-concious consumers tend to believe--and therefore, the politically-eco-concious-liberal consumers (WF target audience) are standing up and saying "no". "Because this company believes in something that I advocate against, I will choose not to purchase from them and contribute to their profits"

This is sort-of an ironic situation that may divide the "stereotypicals" from the "willing to learn"? Posers vs. Actualists? [Especially in a niche-grocer such as WF]

Does that help? :D
(sorry I tend to be long-winded and trail-off sometimes in regards to politics)

Cuba ,Russia ,85 % of Africa, Indian Sub Continent ,Mexico ,Central America ,health ,who cares? food, hole, Whole ,organic,grass fed,his politics , your politics , are you hungry now ,will you be hungry tommorow,how far away is your food ,can you buy it . No food ,no health ,no care . Are you all that stupid?

I'm sorry that Mackey had a "bully pulpit" from which to receive wide distribution of his (erroneous) thoughts on health care reform. Cost and waste and future deficits didn't seem to be a concern regarding a certain platinum-plated quagmire, so I think we can have health care reform. What we really need is a single payer system, but our politicians, sadly, lack the political will for that (i.e, they are cowards concerned only with being re-elected).
He claims Canada rations it's health care...(can we get a comment on that from our Canadian friends on here?)..what does he think insurance companies do with their policies of recission, cherry-picking, and lemon-dropping?

That guy Mackey is nutty Mc Nut Nut. He was caught logging on some financial site touting WF's stock or something. He's anti-union. Thoroughly one of the bad guys.

WF is lowest on my hierarchy after the Farmer's Market, local grocery stores, Trader Joe's. But I go there. There seafood is swill. At least here in NYC 14 St.
