FINALLY! WAL-MART WILL OFFER MORE HEALTHY FOOD ITEMS


I'm excited to report that Wal-Mart will soon be carrying more healthy food choices. I've really been watching what I eat lately and the last place I go shopping is Wal-Mart. Yes they have some cheaper selections, but their vegetables are sub par and they don't offer as many health foods as HEB, Krogers, and other grocery stores. According to the Washington Post:


The newly updated Atlas will likely need updating again soon, as Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, announces plans to phase in more healthful food offerings between now and 2015. The company will alter its house brands and work with other food manufacturers such as Kraft to lower the sodium, fat and sugar content of its foods. It also aims to bring the price of better-for-you foods made with whole grains in line with that of products made with less-healthful refined grains and to lower the prices of fruits and vegetables. Wal-Mart has been encouraged to take such action by Michelle Obama and her Let's Move! campaign to end childhood obesity in a generation.
