I went grocery shopping yesterday, since I hadn't been for about 15 days and thus had an empty refrigerator. Unfortunately, I think everyone else in Siloam Springs decided to go shopping as well. It was crazy. Maybe it was due to the coming snow storm (we got 3 inches of the white stuff). I stopped to get gas on the way back and discovered only one pump was available. All the others were "out of order."
Wal-mart had hundreds of people waddling around with their grossly overloaded grocery carts. My least favorite store is Wal-mart, so I always go there last. I have never understood how people manage to fill their carts so full. It seems impossible to me, because even when I a buy a few things I don't need (fun groceries), I still don't have to stack any of the contents of my cart. My conclusion is that it's because I don't buy any junk food or many prepackaged items (unless varying cheeses/milks/pastas/canned goods count as prepackaged).
Sometimes the food in those carts look so delicious... and then I look up and see an obese person struggling to push it. Then I look at the junk food and get a somewhat repulsed feeling in my stomach and become quite happy with my carrots, pineapples, kale, leeks, garlic...
I read about Wal-mart and Michelle Obama's 5 year plan to introduce more healthy foods to people. What do you think about it? Will it actually make a difference? Is it actually beneficial? Do you think more people will like Wal-mart after this, or will more people hate it?
