Wal Mart: Not as Terrible?
I thought you all (and maybe Jeff, in particular) might appreciate this article on how Wal-Mart actually can do some good in some communities. However, I wonder how many local stores (that already had fresh produce, etc) it drove out to become the only store in a geographic space to have certain healthy products?

I do have to agree with the article that it may help curb obesity in lower income neighborhoods. I think its a great alternative for people who usually would not have access to these foods. I personally have not been to a walmart for the last 4 or 5 years, since I moved to Boston really, but that's because Menino will not let them come into Boston. there's a certain mile radius they have to stay away, I forget what it is. But I do go to target, which really, is it that much better? If they had affordable food there I can't say that I would not buy it.

ReplyDeleteCheck it out. These new fuel cells look like a great advance. I saw a report about these on 60 minutes Sunday.
