The Fed-Up Alternative to Whole Paycheck Excess
It was bad enough when the all-powerful Whole Foods drove out two local health food stores here, never mind its anti-union stance and tendency to charge obscene prices for the homey stuff of life: $4 peppers and $6 peanut butter, anyone? CEO John Mackey's anti-health reform tract for the WSJ is the last straw. The boycott announced by Single Payer Action sounds like a fine idea. Go to your food co-ops, farmers' markets, gardens, or to find other organic stores in your state go here.

Macias has stood out in the cold, the snow and
the freezing rain. But she insists on fighting on.
"We have to
fight," said the 59-year-old Bronxite. "Rain, snow, we have to do it.
This is a struggle we have to go through. If we don't fight, we have
nothing."
