br: You are are a worthy poster. But let me advise you, #1 they are not coops. Those are chicken coops, which goes to show how much you know about the Co-Op movement.. They are Co-Ops, just in case you aren't as informed as I am.

The nut cases that work at Natural Harvest Foods in Virginia and Whole Foods in Duluth go ballistic when I wear my anti-Wacko Wellstone button. Why is that.

Let me refresh you young person, the Co-Op movement was advanced by people oppreseed by the unenlightened corporate movement to starve people out of existence from their homes, especially by the mining companies who distanded the extending of credit to striking miners. I know, my father was a Co-Op manager for 42 years, (not a coop manager, he left his chicken coops in Embarrass in 1941). I don't need any education about Co-Ops from you, since I don't think you have the background I have.

The people staffing the wacko environmental so-called coops in Virginia and Duluth are just that...Wackos. Why else would they be upset with my Wellstones Dead button?

We get our squeaky cheese from a friend who gets her milk from Pearson's in Cook, the only large dairy producer in our area, and by the way, nimrod, the ingredients are restricted to the time a cow gives birth to a calf. I'm Finn, you can't BS me, I grew up on squeaky cheese and I will not buy it from a Wellstone Wacko outfit. I absolutely hate the Sierra Club and hate that they have infiltrated our clean way of life up here. There...do you get it?

Now, nimrod, let's get to the issue of Co-Ops, not chicken coops. There was a movement in the 30-40's by the Red Co-Ops to overtake the White Co-Ops. Co-Op board members brought knives (pukkos) to board meetings during this period. The white Co-Ops, not coops, determined that the existence of the Co-Ops in our region did not rest with the Communists (like Natural Food Harvest and Whole Foods coops) so they wrote their by-laws to prevent that infiltration. You appear to be a on line researcher. Check out the history of the Central Co-Operative Wholesale, later CCI, and you will learn a lot...young fellow.

Any questions? Post back. You can't argue the Co-Op movement with me, not with the limited background you have!
