Wal-Mart goes local

There are probably hidden reasons why there are problems with this, but right now it’s nothing but exciting. New York Times is reporting that Wal-Mart plans to emphasize local produce in many of its stores. Remember, Wal-Mart is the world’s largest grocer. I know they treat their workers terribly, I know there are all sorts of problems with them. Refrain from commenting if you’re just going to slam Wal-Mart generally. But please weigh in if you’ve got something new to say about Wal-Mart, trends in localism, etc..
