And Here I Thought Wal-Mart Was Evil And Conservative

From The Washington Times: A day after serving a calorie-laden state dinner to Chinese President Hu Jintao, first lady Michelle Obama announced a deal Thursday with Wal-Mart, the country's largest retailer and grocery store, to reduce sodium, cut prices on fruits and vegetables, and label healthful foods to guide customers.
Wal-Mart and Mrs. Obama dubbed their agreement a "nutrition charter," and it dovetails with Mrs. Obama's own effort as first lady to push Americans to eat better, particularly when it comes to children.
"This nutrition charter promises a real change that can have a fundamental impact in how our kids eat, you see, because when parents have the information they need about the products they buy, that puts them back in charge, so they can make good decisions for their families," she said.
Under the agreement, Wal-Mart said it committed to cutting sodium content of thousands of packaged foods by 25 percent by 2015, and to cutting the cost of fruits, vegetables and healthier packaged foods. The company will also develop a seal it will use to mark healthful foods so consumers can sort through their options.

If I remember correctly, President Obama doesn't like Wal-Mart. From associatedcontent: You may have noticed that President Barack Obama did not campaign at Wal-Mart stores. In fact, President Obama personally chooses not to shop at Wal-Mart This was not an issue that Obama spoke about during his campaign, given Wal-Mart's popularity with so many millions of Americans, but he is among critics who perceive that Wal-Mart is anti-union and treats its workers shabbily.President Obama's views on Wal-Mart are brought forth in the book "Michelle Obama: First Lady of Hope," written by Elizabeth Lightfoot and published by The Lyons Press in Guilford, Connecticut.Author Lightfoot reports that in 2004, "Michelle took a little heat when she accepted the (board of directors) position at TreeHouse Foods, a Wal-Mart vendor. ... She later resigned after her husband said he would not shop at the anti-union store, although TreeHouse said the resignation was due to Michelle's 'increased demands.'"

I guess Wal-Mart is not evil if it serves your political needs.
Personally, I couldn't care less if Wal-Mart changes it's ingredients. If it is cheaper and tastes good, I'll buy the product. If it doesn't taste good, then I won't. I'm not going to buy it because Michelle Obama says so.
