Perhaps if Whole Foods Market's CEO, John
Mackey, had been a fan he wouldn't have committed yet another dunderheaded faux pas by declaring that “no scientific consensus exists” regarding
the causes of climate change; he added, with a candor you
could call bold or reckless, that it would be a pity to allow “hysteria
about g...lobal warming” to cause us “to raise taxes and increase
regulation..." Thanks to Meg White and Buzzflash for that bit of news. I'm still boycotting Whole Foods. With sites like Green Progress I can spend my money with truly Green Companies, not just self-serving Libertarians like Mackey and his ilk. Consumers vote with their wallets!
