Anyone who knows me has heard my rant about the ills of Wal-Mart and how I refuse to shop there. In reading the NY TImes yesterday I was drawn to the article about this giant of disgust going healthy. Now after years of bad mouthing this place, I have to give a shout out.
Apparently, this monster retailer has embarked on a five year plan to lower unhealthy ingredients in their products as well as reduce the price of fruits and vegetables. Mama Obama showed them the light. Bravo.
One of the things I hated about this organization was their need to supply items so cheaply as a facade for helping the average guy, when they were burying the suppliers in unrealistic price demands. Well its about time they lower the prices on items our gluttonous society needs like fruits and vegetables rather than subpar caviar and oversized televisions.
I am still not an advocate of Wal-Mart but if you check out the average Wal-Mart shopper you will have to agree that this is a step in the right direction to help these sad sacks.

On January 13 of my blog (shameless plug) www.sarahberardi.com, I have a paragraph describing something I saw in WalMart!
