Whole Foods CEO: There is no "right" to healthcare!

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I really think he's offer pie in the sky with this - the idea that people should choose what conditions are covered is frankly, ridiculous.

I love this bit:

"Recent scientific and medical evidence shows that a diet consisting of foods that are plant-based, nutrient dense and low-fat will help prevent and often reverse most degenerative diseases that kill us and are expensive to treat. We should be able to live largely disease-free lives until we are well into our 90s and even past 100 years of age."

I am the first to agree that we are what we eat and we eat a lot of ####### but come on, who's he trying to kid with this stuff? Tell that to Mr Hawking, he only needs to eat more raw carrots and he'll be cured!

Perhaps someone should send a fruit basket to Michael J Fox.

I wonder how many cabbages one has to eat to get immunity from swine flu? 10? 100?

Perhaps spinach and a few shots of wheat grass can cure HIV.

And heart disease... surely a case of injecting garlic right into the vein!

All good points, I am taking notes...

Before long we'll be stitching our own flesh (like Rambo) and pulling our own teeth.

And we'll call it the ####### Foods Alternative.

This thread is going in the right direction

Well the whole "End of Life Counselling" controversy could surely be avoided by subsidising firearms for the terminally ill.

####### Foods doesn't sell firearms.

But poisonous herbs can be incorporated into their marketing strategy.

No counselling needed - just an "free" envelope you can pick up at the customer services. Service with a smile and a knowing wink.

You guys should all boycott ####### Foods.

I don't buy there anyway... I am a Trader Joe's slvt

The customer knows best. Counseling would just get in the way.

Excellent, I think we can dispense with health care professionals entirely, scrap the whole business. All we need to do is eat right and then smooth our passage to 'the other side' with a discreet herbal dose of something suitably lethal. What a plan!
