John Mackey, Whole Foods CEO, Says: "The Whole Foods Alternative To ObamaCare" -- Just Eat Whole Foods!

For those of you who shop at Whole Foods Market, it is time to revisit that decision and find an alternative. John Mackey, Whole Foods CEO, wrote an op-ed on health care reform in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, in which he said,"Recent scientific and medical evidence shows that a diet consisting of foods that are plant-based, nutrient dense and low-fat will help prevent and often reverse most degenerative diseases that kill us and are expensive to treat." Really? Is Whole Foods Market, AKA "Whole Paycheck," the solution for America's health care crisis? The exorbitant prices they charge aren't for the feint of heart.

For those of you who think that Whole Foods Market is a godsend, news flash -- not all of the foods sold there will actually make you healthier. In fact, last week Mackey said it best, even though he put his foot in his mouth, he admitted, "Basically, we used to think it was enough just to sell healthy food, but we know it is not enough. We sell all kinds of candy. We sell a bunch of junk."A boycott of this company should be the next move for all those people who have been genuinely insulted by his comments. I used to shop at Whole Foods, but I found Trader Joe's to be a viable alternative, with more attractive prices. So, my parting words to John Mackey is to stick to his day job and stop selling junk at your stores at such exorbitant prices.
