I still think it's funny that people now want to boycott them, given that they have always intentionally overpriced their product to market to yuppies and wealthy suburbanites who want to feel rich, while they intentionally try to force small, local health food stores and coops out of business. (They took over Bread and Circus, a much, much better store, and Wild Harvest, and tried to force the Harvest Coop out of business.) The main premise of Whole Foods is cut-throat competition and a monopoly of big box stores.
As for his last sentence, I completely agree. I think everyone has an intrinsic right to food and shelter and health care. In fact, I'd say that food and shelter are, in fact, primary elements of health care.
