More on the Whole Foods “Boycott”
by Joshua Malbin on Sep.09, 2009, under Politics
Just now in my inbox from Food Democracy Now!:
Michael Pollan, [has] argued that a boycott could have disastrous unintended consequences, as Whole Foods is one of the largest accounts for a number of small and midsized natural and organic farms. This is especially concerning to some in a year when farmer income is down 38%.
Unintended consequences are a risk of any political action. You weigh the risks against your desired goal and make your decision.
But if you don’t have any clear intended consequences, you’re just being a ween.
