  1. Save now, but pay later with poor health and medical bills.
    I do not buy food at WalMart for one of many reasons. Many of the breads sold there along with many canned foods especially with meat, have caramel coloring; a known carcinogen since the late 1960’s. That includes dog and cat foods, *(except chicken), bar-b-que sauces, (powder or wet), and some ice creams.
    Red dye #2 and caramel coloring was on the chopping block to get rid of because of its cancer causing effects. The large food industry convinced government to not remove caramel coloring and the government listened. The food industry saved a lot of money, because caramel coloring is a very cheap way to keep food from from changing color such as meat turning gray in the can. That is how lousy food is protected, while not caring about protecting you and your family’s health.

      They have the same bread that is in all other grocery stores,,,,LMAO Also their canned good are the same. Their store brands are approved just like all other store brands. This is just an article trying to make Walmart look bad.

        Tim, I think Walmart is just being used as an example in this article because most people in America have access to a Walmart. I don’t feel he’s picking on them. My opinion anyway!

    I’m sorry but picking on Walmart for this is ridiculous. They sell the same items that any other normal grocery store sells. Why is it always Walmart that’s the bad guy even when they are doing what everyone else is doing?

      So, in your opinion, making a sound and well founded comparison, is “picking” on someone? It’s right there on the labels. Do the math – if you can.

        Yes it is if they use just one corporation as an example. Walmart seems to be the wiping boy even though the sell exactly the same name brand items that other do. Anti Walmart article. smh

          Thank you Tim. Exactly my point.

      2. blank Lisa Stetler Insana says:

        No. In my opinion singling out Walmart for doing what every other grocery store in the country is doing is unfair. I am well versed in math, thank you very much, along with being well versed in what’s wrong with our food supply in this country.

    I have not been in a Walmart for over 20 years. I always knew I was right about that smelly store

    1. blank Tim Thomas says:

      I doubt they missed you.

  4. blank Tim Thomas says:

    Why single out Walmart? They sell the same food that most grocery stores sell. This includes Krogers, Publics, IGA, Unified,,,,,,and all others that don’t screen their products. This is just an anti Walmart article.

  5. Walmart is used to make a comparison (perhaps because it’s the largest grocery store in the US), which is hardly that same as picking on Walmart. This article is promoting critical thinking in consumers; suggesting they think a little about what exactly it is that they are buying. The same critical thinking should be applied to reading an article like this one. After reading it you should be thinking about the food you buy in every store you stop at.

      I already think about the food I buy. I read labels carefully. I shop at Walmart and I buy mostly organic produce and no processed foods. There are going to be people who don’t read this article that way. Those who will say “I’m glad I quit shopping at Walmart”. Who will then go out and buy those same products at their local grocery store.

    Poor misunderstood Walmart. 😉

    of the two store chains one is ruthless profit seeking entity that pays low wages and offers no health care, or as its leader has complained that such is not a right, while the other outfit is walmart.

  8. The list is ridiculous. Whole foods has plenty artificial colors and flavors in their bulk candy bin. Wait, you mean sour gummies aren’t grown in pink, purple, and yellow on trees?
    Disodium guanylate is produced from tapioca, dried fish or dried seaweed for flavor enhancement – so bad for human consumption that more than half the world’s supply is consumed in China, and we all know Chinese food is littering the streets with corpses piled (10) deep, and they are such an unhealthy people (insert eye roll).
    Potassium benzoate is used in acidic food and beverage to stop the growth of mold, yeast and bacteria, and is approved by most countries.
    Potassium bromate is found in flour and cooked out – much like any alcohol used in cooking (i.e. beer bread).
    Polydimethylsiloxane is used primarily in cooking oils to prevent splattering – and is only found in trace amounts. Oils containing PDMS are used in fast food joints.
    The list goes on, and so does the scare tactic.
    Most packaged and canned foods are owned and produced by the Big 10 anyway.
    Funny how one doesn’t need to worry about what is on the label, if buying foods that don’t have one. That will always be the best practice vs. arguing about which processed food is less offensive and where it is sold.
