You were saying ...

Why don't they drop the subterfuge and just call it the Great Wall Value. We already know what it is and where it comes from. And no thanks. My dollars may not buy me as much, but the food I purchase won't have me glowing at night, or with mercury levels higher than a carp taking a water nap, floating on it's side.

LOL... glowing at night huh? I haven't heard that one about Walmart's off-brand stuff... :-)

Even so, they still do have some name-brands there, and that's going to be the same stuff at any store. So, in that case, it's just a matter of whether the same product is cheaper there or somewhere else, I suppose.

But, Walmart is making a stupid marketing move by eliminating name-brands, along-side of their "off-brand" stuff...

It has been confirmed for me that some of WalMart’s plain wrap does indeed come from China. While the glowing and mercury comments were over the top (and I expected most folks to realize that from the get go), I honestly think folks are taking a risk by eating food packaged in China.

The regulations in China are not the same as they are in the U.S. From what we have seen in the past, it’s reasonable to think at some point China will have a serious problem concerning it’s food products. The question is, do you want to risk your family’s health on one of those products?

I won’t be risking the health of mine on them.
