The Red, White, and Green

Yes, that’s right: The Red, White, and Green is jumping on the Whole Foods boycott bandwagon.

How does Whole Foods CEO John Mackey think that “a diet consisting of foods that are plant-based, nutrient dense, and low-fat” is somehow going to help the 12.6 million people who have been denied health insurance for a preexisting condition if, heaven-forbid, they get into a car accident and are stuck with thousands of dollars in medical costs? Or if they want to have children but can’t afford the $20,000 hospital price tag? Or if they develop cancer and need chemotherapy?

Oh, I forgot…Mackey doesn’t have to worry about such things. He has a great job (for now) that provides him outstanding health coverage and, up until recently, paid him on average $2.18 million a year.

Take action:
Call Whole Foods World Headquarters at 512.477.4455.
Post to the Whole Foods website.
Boycott Whole Foods on Facebook.
