..."As Walmart positions itself as an expedient solution to the food desert problem, critics question whether a retailer known for fostering a low-wage economy and driving small stores and union groceries out of business is a viable ally in the effort to help struggling communities get access to affordable, decent food. The food desert problem, these critics contend, is more about poverty than grocery stores. Some argue that the retailer’s newfound interest in food deserts is a public relations push designed to help it finally gain entry into lucrative urban markets from which it has long been excluded, thanks to grassroots opposition."

Great article. I am not a fan of WalMart by any means and I have even boycotted them
Your blog seems cleaner than mine, maybe I need to work on my layout a bit
Can you give me any tips to how I can get more visibility and followers to my blog? I would greatly appreciate it
