Liberal mecca: the farmer's market

I don't know why it is, but in whichever city I am, the farmer's market is a haven for liberals. Not that I ask anyone their political affiliation, but you can tell: gay couples, women without makeup, just the "no boundaries" feel of it. I get the same feel whenever I'm in a Whole Foods store, or the most high-end grocery store in an urban area.

Maybe this is why: for all of the athiests among us liberals, the religion of staying healthy and tending to the environment is our communal worship, our way of relating to each other.
