CORPORATE CRIME REPORTER - Most people who shop at Whole Foods are liberal yuppies. . . They believe that shopping for groceries at Whole Foods instead of Safeway or Food Lion or Giant or Wal-Mart is the politically correct thing to do. They probably believe that the President and CEO of Whole Foods is a liberal like themselves. . .
John Mackey is instead a libertarian with right-wing tendencies. Mackey says that Milton Friedman is his hero. He's a devotee of Ayn Rand. He's opposed to national health insurance. He's a union buster. And he has recently endorsed a book published by the libertarian Cato Institute whose author concludes that no corporation should ever be prosecuted for crimes – no matter the corporation, no matter the crime

I blogged about Whole Foods myself, and I am no longer shopping there. I also wrote an email and submitted it to their customer service comments section online. They said they'd respond within a week. It's been almost two and nary a peep. Go figure. But I've been thinking that if they get more than one email complaint about their CEO's behavior... things might change. Who knows, but it's something to actually do, if anyones interested. Cheers!!
