I didn't know the Chinese were into milking cows...

Is Walmart's milk like their meat -- 20% water added to enhance the
flavor? I recall a First Communion primer illustrated adultery as a
man in a mask pouring water into a milk can. I guess for that age
group it was better than discussing the sex habits of presidents.

Not all Walmart meat is that way. They have been selling grass fed beef,
organic and non-organic for some time now.

Okay. I haven't been in a Walmart this year iirc. It's my store of last
resort if I can't find an item locally. Even then it's usually a brief
stop on the way to Amazon. The few times I wandered to the grocery
section I wasn't impressed.

If you are buying packaged and canned food, Walmart is OK. You might
even save a few cents but the meat and produce seems to suck.
I buy car/boat batteries at Walmart and dog treats, maybe something
from the garden center. That is about it.
