This interesting Video (Found Here) is a clip from a news report which talks about a surprising partnership between Michelle Obama and Walmart to fight increasing obesity in the nation.
Because Walmart is the largest retailer of groceries in the United States, they have lowered prices on healthy food items to make them more affordable. Although this could be a major risk taken by the company, the predicted outcome is that Walmart's competitors will in turn lower their prices to remain competitive.
This is a refreshing example of ways in which Walmart is working to help the community, and while it may not out-weigh the documented negatives which we have seen, it is a step in the right direction.
