Fresh fruit and vegetables is one of the areas Walmart is considering to try to stay competitive. http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500395_162-4227280.html
Eh, they'll probably still find a way to fuck up their produce. Even if not it's actually easier for me to just go to a market around here or a little farmer's stand or whatever than to walmart... They can try though. Kinda funny... "walmart is intending to be one of the largest buyer's of local fruit and veggies"... hmmm....well, maybe they, in a way, would actually start supporting local economies then at least... -----on second thought, they'll probably instead find a way to fuck up the local produce... pesticides, genetic modification, new mutant species, who knows...
Or they might be successful and every industry becomes Wal Mart. Imagine, Wal Mart as your cable company, cell phone provider, all restaurants become Wal Mart, Wal Mart amusment parks, the Wal Mart stock exchange.
The walmart supercenter around here (it's about 10 miles away, and there are at least 3 or 4 more within another 10 mile radius..) stocks some decent looking produce. I seriously cringe anytime I end up having to go there. At least the one by the beach has mostly normal looking people, but the one in the hood where I lived before the beach.. I don't go in there unless I'm strapped. It's like a microcosm of all the trash in the city.
Buy pears from Wal-Mart, then buy pears from farmers market...if you had only had pears from Wal-Mart before you would say "damn, I've never had a pear like this"....so fresh and crisp, unlike walmart pears which are...somewhat....soggy. And the corn is better too. IDK where they grew the shit, but it was in this country, in this state, not in some foreign country. So much of everything in the US these days is imported, even much of our agriculture....seems like all we do is consume, consume, consume, and we don't really manufacture shit anymore. This used to b a huge industrial city, here, decades ago....not anymore, hence the steady decline, and 10% population loss per decade, steadily since about the 1950's :-(
I <3 that movie. and yea, ace... I guess if you only had produce from walmart then switched you'd be shocked. Today I went to a local market and got strawberries from MD (not exactly local here yet but well, MD is 15 mins away so okay... local enough)- they are so good... and I got raw honey made by this small company in Baltimore. That was supposed to be a father's day present for Dan but well, I'm not good at waiting to give ppl gifts so I gave it to him today...and I got local asparagus (actually good...very good) and some others things.
Can you just imagine....a walmart brand car (like them creating their own brand-not just selling other brands)...how much of a piece of trash that would be?
They would sell other brands, but also have their own "store brand" equivalent of BMW's, Mercedez benzes, etc.
Like that indian car tutu motors, that only cost 3 grand new but is so dangerous they can't sell them here lol.
