Why is he so butthurt over where other people shop


I couldn't tell whether he was a liberal pissed that a libertarian-owned grocery chain is doing so well, or whether he was some smug independent mocking both the far right and the perceived far left (Whole Foods shoppers). His article is so incoherent that I have no idea what his politics are, just that he's a huge douche.

There's like no decent threads tonight. So I see SFP started this, and I'm like maybe. Then I read like 3 or 4 of his quotes, and I still don't know what he's talking about.

Then TH03 jumps in and acts like he knows what's being discussed, like he does in every thread. So I figured I'd test him. Now he's really having to read what SFP posted. haha.

I'll never understand why someone else being a hypocrite is somehow justification for the other person being wrong too, which is how I perceive these types of threads.

"The right is allowed to be anti-science on certain things bc the left is too on certain things"

No you both just suck at some things.

This is one of the problems in america today. For some reason people feel the need to align perfectly with one political party or another. People look at you like you have 4 eyes if you are conservative but care about the environment or if you are liberal and don't like gay marriage.

Not my perception on these types of threads but that's perception not reality of the actual mindset of the posters who start them.

Yes. Very liberal. The comments from "open-minded" liberals on the article are pretty great as well.

in large part it's due to the dichotomy of what shite science is or isn't good to believe in

GMOs are a big pet of mine. they are unfairly demonized by people who proclaim to love science

That's just their lifestyle and he sounds mad they believe what he believes is bullshite. I think he makes a huge assumption that the majority of WF shoppers buy into everything they sell. I shop their because their food and produce actually looks better than the garbage Albertsons sells.
