Our local Costco is full of Seniors grazing through the freebies.

McDonald’s tried to go healthy and it didn’t work.

Proctor & Gamble donated $243K, 79% went to Republicans

That shocks me, because at the same time P&G is funding Black Lives Matter.

Sounds like another successful IHOB campaign, wouldn’t you say? (/s)

Just stupid. You aren’t in business to promote healthy eating in your food court. You sell what customers want to buy! Good luck with this...

Apparently you haven't been paying attention to Costco's business plan, they have been foisting more and more organic product on its members over the last few years while eliminating the analogous non organic item, of course at a much higher 'healthy' price.

All they have accomplished with me is to cut my shopping list with them and make me research Sam's Club as an alternate when my membership come due. All they have

This isn’t free food. This is where you can get a dog and a soda for 1.50

There's a lot we like about Costco. But their organic (leftist) focus isn't one of them.

All they sell is premium "free range" eggs for $2 a dozen. We go to Aldi's across the street and get 4 dozen for $1.76.

They used to sell 80 oz. of Kirkland peanut butter for $6.99. Now it's 58 oz. of organic for $9.99.

We still get enough value from rental car prices and insurance alone to justify a membership. And we find the occasional incredible value on reduced non-to-be-restocked items (look for an * and a price not ending in 99). And there's a lot of other items that haven't goon full-organic, like frozen berries.

The food court item we miss is the hand-dipped ice cream bar rolled in almonds.

Costco is just doing what all fast food purveyors have been doing. They are putting so-called healthy items on the menu as hoped for insurance against the day the trial lawyers and Democrat AG’s come at them the way they went at big tobacco, looking for a ginormous payday.

Somewhat off-topic, but the BEST place for food where the chief product isn't food, is Sheetz in PA. I intentionally seek out Sheetz when I gas up.
