Don’t you get it? That’s entirely the point. She’s trying to draw attention to farmers markets and local produce. You know, supporting small businesses?

I’ve said many times over at hotair that I don’t get the right wing’s love for WalMart and their disdain for stores like Whole Foods, etc. WalMart buys crap made at factories in China (moved there under GHWB and WJC administrations mostly—lots of Americans lost decent jobs because of it). China uses the money to undermine the US economically and internationally (Sudan sanctions for example).

Whole Foods buys local when they can, and pays their employees very well. Whole Foods even offers great health benefits and other perks to their workers. Yeah, Whole Foods charges a premium, but they sell high quality products and provide good customer service from employees who make higher wages. Whole Foods customers are happy to pay more for what they get there.

Isn’t that capitalism in action?
