Comments on: Our Priorities – Big Oil, Junk Food, and Wal-Mart http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2007/09/23/our-priorities-big-oil-junk-food-and-wal-mart/ A blog for natural families with green values Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:42:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: oil painting portraits http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2007/09/23/our-priorities-big-oil-junk-food-and-wal-mart/comment-page-1/#comment-42047 oil painting portraits Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:51:53 +0000 http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2007/09/23/our-priorities-big-oil-junk-food-and-wal-mart/#comment-42047 Thank you for sharing this information to us. Nowadays, the idea of GMOs has gone very strong from pet food to baby food. Isn’t that alarming? I can’t imagine letting my baby eat a cup of genetically modified corn kernels mixed with processed milk and artificial coloring just to make appear pleasing to the eyes. I really think moms should be informed on how to choose the right food for their family. Thank you for sharing this information to us.

But there are some other things you have to consider. Such as, all the jobs that Wal-Mart provides and the subsequent positive on the economy. In truth, Wal-Mart could do much better, but they have always prided themselves in providing cheap stuff for the average American. In many ways, that's a good ethic in itself. Why, I have to ask, are Organic things so expensive? Could it be that those companies want to harp on the recent trends? Do they have any real good excuse for their inflated pricing?

I couldn't agree more that it's vital to be conscious of the fact that we vote with every dollar we spend. It takes a lot of effort and discipline though. I'm guilty of becoming lazy and complacent but I do my best to pay attention to where my dollars are going. <em>Elizabeth's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DailyDollarDiary/~3/179890608/day-64.html' rel="nofollow">Day 64</a> Great article!
