(Our Wal-Mart currently offers a small section of organic food, but any increase or improvement would be very welcome!)

Well, I thought some people might have found the organic food part interesting. My apologies.

Autumn, you're so quick witted I was sure you'd understand I was kidding. [Walmart is just so eeeasy to make fun of ;)] I'm sorry it fell flat. I wasn't making fun of you. I think carrying organic produce would be a wonderful step in the right direction.

oh no autumn , Im glad you told us about it (it IS easy to make fun of wal mart ,and its easy to get caught up in the walmonster hysteria ) The GOOD thing is that there are many people who will benefit from the organic section , They seem to be trying to improve their image !!!

My parents still shop at wal mart (is it the mall of the south or what???) and maybe theyll pick me up some reasonably priced organic produce

I was only kidding myself. Wal-Mart blows, but I am there every week. ROFL! Guess I am getting "southernized".
