The CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, recently declared war in a Wall Street Journal op-ed:
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?
He even quoted Margaret Thatcher, the patron saint of the CEO overclass.

His sights were aimed squarely at... um, yeah… that’s right: his Whole Foods customer base – the entirety of snoburbia. Oops.
Say his customers: I’ll see you one box of gluten-free quinoa and raise you one bag of Himilania Cacao Dusted Dark Chocolate Covered Goji Berries. A Boycott Whole Foods Facebook group already has 24,500 members and liberal bloggers like Daily Kos are also taking up the call.
Hello? Didn’t he know? Crunchy people love a chance to boycott stuff. It’s what passes for a riot in snoburbia.
