Interesting article on Walmart’s foray into the organic/buy local marketplace. Is the same retailer that’s been accused of pushing out the little guy (farmers and small businesses alike) motivated by a desire to support those same little guys while supplying us with affordable healthy produce or the desire for profit? You be the judge.
Side note – In my previous life as an opera singer, I did several tours in the town that the writer mentions at the beginning of the article. His friend was right; the Super Walmart is definitely “one of the sights” in Natchez, MS.
