  Walmart's local produce promise

  I live in Ontario, Canada where we too have the rapacious Walmart.  Of course this latest ploy is to cut transportation costs and to perhaps tangentially, appeal to consumers' concerns about local sustainability.  We have had, to my knowledge, no similar announcement.  I boycott Walmart whose inventory ends up quickly in landfills.  I'll continue to buy local organic produce directly from local farmers even though I'm on a fixed income.  I select my purchases with an close eye on my food budget and savour mightily what I can afford.On Wal-Mart gobbles up local produce posted 1 year, 4 months ago 23 Responses

  Racie's mother has the right technique

  The above method is really the best.  The tender greens don't get soggy.  I also avoid ripe tomatoes in a salad but serve them as a separate side dish.  Add some spring radishes if you want colour.  Incidentally, Nigella Lawson, popular British cookbook author and star of her own cooking series on the Food Network, makes her salad similarly.  Now, bring on the spring vegetables!
