What in the hell has happened over the past two weeks such that "liberals" are boycotting Whole Foods and praising Wal-Mart while "conservatives" are boycotting Wal-Mart and pledging to buy all of their groceries from Whole Foods?

I wouldn't have bet your rent money on that happening. What's next?

Whole Foods I understand... their CEO dared to question the healthcare plan of Saint Obama.

Had not heard of the WalMart boycott... what happened there?
 
I love the premise of the OP: Mainly Liberals shop at Whole Foods and mainly Conservatives shop at Wally's. LOL

And now there's a growing boycott Wal-Mart movement on the right, just like there is a growing boycott Whole Foods movement on the left.

I thought it was an interesting turn of events. Apparently you disagree.

Apparently I simply had no clue that Walmart insulted Glenn Beck and wouldn't care if they did.

And I fail to see why Walmart "dissing" Glenn Beck has anything to do with a boycott.

Wasn't there a story recently with Walmart endorsing Obamacare? I think that is far more likely than Glenn's hurt ego to cause a boycott.
 
What's the deal with Whole Foods? (As a matter of fact I was just in one about 5 minutes ago). Their mantra is organic food, be good to the environment, be good to workers etc. but I've heard a couple progressive people say they feel Whole Foods is too corporate. It sure doesn't feel corporate when you're in one but is it something management has done?

In my opinion Whole Foods is just a huge greenwash. I don't really care about the organic movement anyway - it's not really good for the environment. Find "natural" substitutes for things that do the exact same thing as synthetics and have the exact same environmental effects is pointless.
 
LOL Bravo's a regular surfer of Beck's site. Pathetic but funny

the false outrage on the left is a huge pile of shit on whole foods, they will and are eating thier own.
