This is why the Whole Foods boycott is interesting: Whole Foods' customers are educated people with time and money on their hands. That's why they shop at the stores to begin with; they make choices. They are more likely to bother with finding alternatives than someone who is pressed for time and money.
I'm invested in health care reform. The words "pre-existing condition" carry more weight when they apply to you, I can assure you that.
I will not spend my money at a store whose CEO is out to make it harder for the bill to pass. In his Wall Street Journal piece he says,
While all of us empathize with those who are sick, how can we say that all people have more of an intrinsic right to health care than they have to food or shelter?
I happen to think that food and shelter are rights too, in a decent society. But, then again, I don't make my money selling one or the other.
