Walmart tackling healthy food? That's like Sarah Palin tackling intelligence...

Over the next five years you may notice a difference with Walmart (don't worry, it will still offer Mac and Me for $3.50).

In accordance with the Let's Move campaign, Walmart will start featuring healthier foods at lower prices.  No longer will you be drawn to the 10 king size candy bars for a nickel or the 50 gallon ice cream jugs for 6 bucks.  Instead, you will find yourself buying salads and other rabbit based foods.

First victim of the delicious food massacre:  sodium.  Sodium (an essential ingredient in a Russian spy flick starring Angelina Jolie) will be cut by 25%.  It is no doubt this is just a stepping stone towards outlawing salt completely.  CNN- stands for Cook Nothing NaCl

First lady Michelle Obama (not to be confused with our Mormon President's Second through Sixth ladies) had this to say:

“To say I’m excited is probably an understatement because we’re really gaining some momentum on this issue”  AMNY- 2nd only to The Missoulian in hard hitting journalism

The ultimate goal is to have kids that look skinny because everyone knows looks are of far greater importance than personality.

With childhood obesity in danger of extinction there are many things we stand to lose.  The Truffle Shuffle.  Awesome cannonball splashes.  The only thing that makes Drew Carey funny. 

I guess this just proves that living longer will always be more important to society than eating food that tastes good.  But taste isn't the only thing matters to those deciding what to eat.

This guy said this:

 "No family should have to choose between food that is healthier for them and food they can afford," said Bill Simon, president and CEO of Wal-Mart's U.S. division.  USA Today- giving you today's news today

Luckily some Walmarts will still have a McDonalds... which means that you can still get your sodium fix at the front of the store.  If your Walmart has a Subway just go across to the street to that Walmart.  They've probably got one.

Whether this will impact the community... time will tell.  Whether people will continue to buy the food that tastes good over what's good for us remains to be seen.  Will we see a rise in lemons and decline in Lemonheads?

Probably not.
