Like it or not, these are some the largest food producers in the United States, so they are also the only way most people will ever know what organic is. They also won't be producing it exclusively for Wal-Mart, so you could go to Kroger or IGA or any other grocery store and find more organic products. Is that bad? Not to mention all of the attention that it will bring to the issue. People (LOTS of people!) might actually start thinking about what they eat and how it is made. So if you say that you want more people to produce organic food and in turn more people eat organic food, this should be a good thing right? But, as with everything; change/progress brings complication.

Although I haven't seen a Wal-Mart in the Seattle area yet. Now if they’d just offer better health care to their workers I might actually shop there.
