Walmart is trying to kill me

[DNA]

Hello

Greetings

Short, make it short. Walmart is trying to kill you. You shouldn't eat anything they sell. Period.
So right now August 21st 2025 there is a media talking point of how Walmart is selling radioactive shrimp.
No big deal.
Except the supplier also provides shrimp to other supermarkets and none of those shrimp are radioactive. Huh?
Must just be bad luck for Walmart.
Except, I know a woman who worked at Walmart close to 30 years.
She told me and my wife about how the Walmart brand of vitamins was found to have no vitamins in them and further there were toxic ingredients found in their place. This was back in 2012.

I know another person who works for the chicken slaughter house that processes Walmarts chicken, "Georges" in southern Missouri.
I was told that Walmart had their own requested method for processing chicken.
This plant provides chicken to a plethora of local businesses but only Walmarts chicken goes through a line where it is soaked in a hazardous solution so toxic that the workers are paid 25% more than their peers on other lines and they must wear hazmat suits. Also, it is said that if there's a leak or spillage with the chemicals where the chicken is dipped and soaked then the whole plant/factory has to be closed down until the situation is cleaned up and resolved.

All of the veggies and fruit at Walmart were some of the first to get the Bill Gates Apeel treatment.

Here is my thinking, if the George's thing is real. And it most assuredly is, then it doesn't matter if there is a brand you trust that Walmart sells.
Walmart has the power and influence to have their products fine tuned.
They can call it preservatives, flavor enhancers, coloring but in the end it is really just poison.

I understand money is tight sometimes, and we want to make the most of our hard earned dollar, but I implore you to explore all other options before shopping at Walmart for groceries.

Thanks DNA, truly horrifying information, yet somehow not surprising. Never trusted that place, a deep inner knowing always told me to stay away. Only once stepped foot inside a Walmart out of necessity, for emergency purposes on a road trip and they were the only thing around for miles. Literally out in the middle of nowhere in the country and then suddenly there's a Walmart behemoth on the side of the road, very eerie. For me, as I'm sure for many of you as well, whenever a company gets that big and suddenly moves to the top of the list for the products and services they provide, I see nothing but red flags. Google, Amazon, and Starbucks are a few other examples that come to mind. And they're responsible for putting so many mom and pop shops outta business during covid. And then there's the conspiratorial FEMA camp complete with railroad tracks videos many have put out when a great number of Walmarts just mysteriously shut down for remodeling. Hope someone does a deep dive on this place some day and exposes all the rest of their nefarious dealings. Thanks again for the info.

p.s. On a brighter note, it's good to see the public not falling for these big companies pushing the woke agenda, Cracker Barrel the latest example. Go woke, go broke.

In the early 1990s, the buzzword politically correct started going around, and I thought it meant "the politically correct attitude is to boycott Walmart".

Much to my chagrin, I found out it was being used in the far opposite sense, speech suppression.

I more or less have had a lifetime of boycott on, well, almost everything with only a few necessary exceptions. Yet I have not noticed any effect upon the vast majority of my targets. Almost all of the same things are still here in an ongoing Star Wars franchise.

These guys are like the Spice drug makers; as soon as you have a new molecule, you have a new thing, which any investigator would have to go through an entirely brand-new investigation, or, in this case, enough lawsuits about some kind of food before anything like that starts. It's very laissez-faire or favorable for them to do so.

What do I do when someone asks me to promote a known mass murderer?

This.

Weird timing because I was just telling a friend how much I miss going to Walmart in the middle of the night to avoid crowds elsewhere. But during covid they closed early, and here we are years later and still closing early.

I never thought I'd ever be writing the words "I was just telling a friend how much I missed going to Walmart", and I still can't believe I'm writing them now, but I guess I loathe crowds more than poisons.

All I can say is that Walmart, like Sam's Club, always skeved me out. I worked at Sam's for like a year when I was 18. When I first started there I thought the word 'produce' meant meat. So every time someone asked me where the produce aisle was I'd direct them to the meat aisle. This caused some predictable conundrums. After a while they put me on carts.

Every time I walk into almost any grocery store now, my immediate thought is, they're trying to kill us. And then I buy stuff that will surely shorten my life.

Thanks for the heads up Marcus. I tend to believe all that.

I admire your commitment to affordable entertainment. Walmart in the middle of the night. I'm conjuring images no mortal man should see. You have seen the photos I suspect?

Did they catch you on a bad day Mike? But seriously, one of the other reasons I never went was from a purely aesthetic point of view. After living in San Francisco with all that amazing architecture, you know, that stuff found all over the planet and destoyed in the World's Fairs, I just couldn't conceive of walking into a big shoe box of flourescent horrors. And they undersell all competition. Suspicious in itself, is it just a bulk thing or what kind of corners are they cutting? From a purely qualitative perspective, this business model will always sacrifice quality for profits.

Did you ever write any stories of those late night Walmart adventures, I'm sure you must have seen some things...

Speaking about the so-called food, here is an aftermovement about it.

It's the same stuff also purveyed in the "bulk distributors" (i. e. Sam's).

So there's a lot of it, and the fact is that other businesses will go in there and then re-sell it to you as their own.

I mean that in the sense of ready-to-eat. Anywhere you go to order a meal, *might* have Walmart ingredients, anything from seafood to cabbage. The suspicious chicken is one I'm not *specifically* sure that I know of being re-used; chances are that raw would be bought and cooked. It's a bit like talking about Fluoride in water; even if you don't drink it, it will be cooked into everything. I'm not saying the ingredients are that universally-distributed, just that they are served in places you might not expect, such as to suit-and-tie clientele.
