Whole Foods CEO John Mackey thinks that global warming is
<http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2010/01/whole-foods-ceo-john-mackey-global.htm
l>  a hoax and that Americans have no

inherent right to health care and that unions are like herpes

The latest
<http://jezebel.com/5456561/weigh-less-pay-less-whole-foods-offers-discount-
based-on-bmi>  bit of crazy from Mackey is a new employee discount policy.
If you have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and a lower BMI (Body
Mass Index), you get a bigger discount. Aside from the fact that those three
factors, while important, are not necessarily predictive of good health,
Mackey's sending a "fatties shouldn't work here" message. The planned
in-house screenings should be a riot. Participation is voluntary, just in
case you don't want corporate all up in your business. But then you don't
get the steeper discount on that $2 banana.
