I was actually thinking recently, that I wonder how many people are going to start really looking for more organic food (I'm thinking in terms of meat without hormones, etc). And then I read this article. If Walmart is going to carry it, there must be a fairly large interest.
I don't see this as a bad thing. I could care less what the elites want, but I'm really becoming alarmed at some of what we consume, not to mention what we feed our kids.

It would no be if Walmart intentions (and resolve) were honest. Big if.
Organic food has become a huge market, and business is listening. The market driven economy does work sometimes. "Whole Foods" (organic grocery chain) has seen phenomenal growth and earnings. The ONLY way it will work, however, is if the consumer has confidence in the organic products being sold. Walmart has a big hill to climb in that dept., and no, I won't be buying organic from Walmart.
I agree with some posters, the minute the gov or big business gets involved, the integrity of the term "organic" could become compromised.
Walmart is trying to go a bit upscale. I bought some 400 count sheets there the other day. Very nice.
