...Wal-Mart has a HORRIBLE selection of food-colored,water filled meats,...

The same meat that my home-town, non-Wal-Mart grocery stores have....bubble wrapped, water-drenched, sodium ''enhanced'' chickens & pork. It's not just Wal-Mart carrying that crap.

On a positive note, I drive to the next town to shop at a Wal-Mart SuperCenter in order to buy food items that my local grocery stores do not carry and other items that are priced much lower. Wal-Mart groceries aren't glitzy, but the selection is adequate and actually better than the stores in my city of over 60,000 population offer. So it really depends on where you live.

" . . .but the selection is adequate. . ."

Wal-Marts selections are adequate as you say, but I prefer a more than "adequate" selection. Wal-Mart is a destroyer of choice, but hey!, more power to them, you know?

The more I read of this kind of information, the more blessed I feel. In the next town is a small, mom-and-pop creamery that sells minimally-processed whole milk with the cream on top in glass bottles. It comes from cows that are strictly grass-fed. They also sell free-range pork and beef, free-range eggs, homemade ice cream, local cheese and butter. For a low-carb shopper like me, it's like going straight to heaven...
