walmart really sucks, for all the reasons previously mentioned here.
foods with chemicals in them really suck, for all the reasons previously mentioned here.
i'd recommend to be conscious about what you eat, the economies you support, and the externalities (even the internal ones) that these decisions have.
sure, walmart is a bit cheaper, but also causes people to lose their jobs/lose wages/lose health-care/etc/etc/etc - it may be cheap as hell, but if we all follow that economic model, nobody will be able to afford even the cheap crap they sell.
support local (and/or fair-trade based) economies, that's my opinion...

Whether you used slurs or not does not matter. What matters is that you had to "brave" people of a different ethnicity than yours.

The cheapest place for you to shop is "evil"? So if they jacked their prices up a few times, they'd be better?
If all of these mom-n-pop local companies had the reach and ability that WalMart does to keep a wide range of products in stock at a low price, people would shop there. Walmart didn't sent out thugs to burn these places down, they opened up a business. If more people went to Wal-Mart than Joes Hardware, then the people of that town made the decision as to what stays and what goes. If a better company comes alone, people will shop there.
Lets say that a spore vendor started selling 5 syringes for 5$, would most people shop there? Of course. Would it have an effect on the business of other spore vendors? Of course. Is their anything wrong with the cheaper company? Of course not. If you don't like a store, you don't shop there. CAlling a company evil is just ignorant.
