LINK ‘The Socialists Are Taking Over,’ Whole Foods CEO John Mackey Laments | The Guardian
Another company to Boycott. Easy for me. I don't shop there because they are overpriced. If progressives stop buying there they wouldn't have any customers. I'd never shop at a store with the nickname, Whole Paycheck. If it's not on sale I won't buy it. I haven't bought eggs in a month. At $5 a dozen I'll just eat something else.

They have brown cheese from Norway but I don't need to go there anymore because Sprouts also has brown cheese from Norway. I only bought it about twice a year anyway and I agree everything was so overpriced I didn't buy anything else.

What the hell is "brown cheese from Norway"? I've gone this long in life without that, I'll keep going.
@barjoe it cost a fortune if you have it shipped but it's $8 at sprouts.[foreignusa.com]
Never been there. They obviously are looking to cater to a wealthier clientele. This may help them get rid of the people who budget.

There's a store called Wegman's I have to go to Jersey and they have everything that Whole Foods has and they are only expensive for gourmet items when their cost is high. The only people I know who go to Whole Foods are liberal yuppies. Fuck this guy John Mackey.
Yeah, I love eggs, but I can't fuck with them right now. If they drop to about $2 every couple weeks I scoop up a dozen, but it's hard. Within the past couple years I was buying a dozen eggs for a low as $0.25 from the Aldi on the more rural side of me (I think there's a lot of people with chickens causing competing maybe?)
And I'd love to boycott Whole Foods, but I've literally never bought a single thing from that store.

There is a bird flu epidemic so supply of eggs is very low. Aldi has them for $3 but they are caged eggs.
@barjoe Yeah, seems like it goes in a cycle because of this. I think what's happening is that they have to destroy a bunch of hens all at the same time. Then there's an overcorrection/all young hens so there's a price-tanking surplus. I hope that comes soon.
@ChestRockfield The price will come down somewhat. You'll never see eggs for $1doz ever again.
@barjoe I think we will. And I'd bet it'll happen in a year or less.
@ChestRockfield Caged hens are part of the reason the epidemic spread so badly. I think the industry will move on from that as the prevalent production method. No. You will never see eggs $1 dozen again. They are not as good as cage free eggs either. The yolks have a pale yellow color. Pasture raised eggs I've had, have almost orange color yolks and taste a lot better.
@barjoe If it's between $5 orange-yolked pasture-raised dozens and $1-2 pale-yellow-yolked regular eggs, especially for anything where the egg isn't standing alone, I'll take the yellow.
They are Incredibly overpriced on Everything!
People, both Trader Joe's and Aldi's have a ton of organic foods for normal prices!
