Trips to Whole Foods Now Take On a Whole New Wonderful Meaning

So I hear that some wacko Lefties are trying to boycott Whole Foods because the company’s CEO wrote a widely read opinion-editorial for the Wall Street Journal explaining why Obama Care is bad medicine and offering a proven, constructive alternative.

I’m proud to say that the lovely Mrs. Virtus today went shopping at Whole Foods. It wasn’t the first time, and certainly not the last. We’re not overboard on the natural foods thing, but with some pretty serious food allergy issues in our household, the availability of some alternatives they offer is quite convenient. Being very cost-conscious consumers, we tend to purchase different types of groceries and necessities at different stores. So it’s not like we give Whole Foods a tremendous amount of business.

But today the shopping excursion took on a whole new meaning. I didn’t get to join in the fun, but I especially took joy in picturing the family grocery getter parked in the Whole Foods lot sporting a brand new “He’s Not My Doctor” bumper sticker on the back, compliments of the Independence Institute.

If you haven’t shopped at Whole Foods before, take the opportunity at least to check it out.

    How many hard left bloggers and their readers shop WF now?

    Not many, I suspect, because their aren’t that many hard lefters who passionately support the public option or single-payer health care.
