I also think, as RK said, you can’t judge a company by a personal opinion, unless that company is running the business and conducting their hiring policies according to that opinion…..in this case, I don’t think it’s true……the jury is still out with me……….

It’s like where I work at, most people are conservative, but I sure as shit am not. :-)

RK- Good point about Whole Foods leading the way on so many wonderful issues. I disagree with the views of one individual, and I think that instead of hurting an entire company by boycotting, the respectful response is to just state that I disagree, which I guess is what I’ve already done in this posting.

I may disagree with it, but he wasn’t mimicking Sarah Palin, and as a corporation, they are more progressive than most, in terms of civil rights and food safety. So I guess that’s the long way of saying I’m torn about it too.

I hadn’t heard this…..my daughter’s best friend is an executive at WF, so I’d love to hear her views….a lesbian woman, high up on the food chain, so I am surprised and a little confused…….can’t wait to get some feedback….more when I know more!!!!!!!
