1. As if the recent election were not enough of a test of dunce-hood, how about a more down-to-earth test: do you shop at Whole Foods for the organic fare?
Dunce.
2. The Whole Food Stores are enormous, well stocked, and best of all the food is good for you and for the earth! So what if it costs a little bit more. You cannot put a price tag on doing right by the environment! True?
a. Repeat the mantra:
Shopping at Whole Foods will make you healthier, smarter, and more moral than everyone else. Oooommm .
3. Well, the customers are well-educated, upper class, armed with reusable bags and organic soy lattes .they quietly walk from their Priuses, into the Whole Foods store with an attitude of reverence, for it is a utopian vision of a progressive future: it is the church where they can pay tribute to their most cherished ideas about food, health, and the environment.
Amen.
4. The reality is that what truly unites them is that they are just more gullible than everybody else.
5. Example?
Sure at a Whole Foods in Seattle, customers are greeted by signs that warn them to avoid genetically modified (GM) food.
Lets explore the myth. In Europe, such new foods are made to prove that they are not harmful. Think about that.
Here, the procedures is for those who believe them to be harmful are asked to provide proof, some cases. There is not a single documented case of GM foods causing even a stomach ache, let alone lingering health problems.
a. Get it? Whole Foods promotes organic food as a wholesome alternative to the poison those competitors are foisting on their customers!
b. It is a business model founded on selling a feel-good lifestyle based on a lie. The same as environmentalism!
The above covered fully and in detail in Berezow and Campbell, Science Left Behind, chapter three.
6. Hows this for a full-house: Organic foods, Prius-driving, composting, anti-vaccines, Progressives.

a. Stick a pin in a map to indicate Whole Foods stores, and in that community, 81% voted for Obama. Do the same for Cracker Barrel, and 36% went for Obama. Will the 2012 election be a contest of Whole Foods vs. Cracker Barrel shoppers? - Washington Post
b. And, get this: Whole Foods founder, John Mackey, is an Ayn Rand fan. Seems hes a granola conservative. John Mackey, C.E.O. of Whole Foods : The New Yorker
7. Mackey has created an enormously successful food store chain by appealing to folks who are health and environmentally conscious, even to the point of rejecting technology and opting for natural. This simple-minded reasoning of progressive thinkers is, basically, the raison d'être for the organic food movement.
Have you seen the OP Ed Mackey wrote in opposition to ObamaCare? It was great.
8. Now, back to the religion of the Leftists:
We are energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment, just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs imbibe.
