| 43. Meh...it is easy to stereotype people who shop at Whole Foods as much as those that shop at Walmart |
|
Edited on Fri Jun-05-09 09:28 PM by Reterr
There are a lot of people who shop at Walmart just because they don't care about how slaughterhouse wortkers/animals are treated and will drop a big chump of change on something else (my boss fits this description) but buy the cheapest food they can get....
All this thread proves to me is that in general stereotypes suck...
Sure there are Whole foods types like that, but shopping at Walmart is still not some awesome thing just because "champagne liberals" exist...
I care about the environment and animal welfare and so I spend a lot of money on food. To afford that, I cut back on other stuff...
Stereotypes are fucking stupid....
