Wal-Mart to sell organic produce

*hiss*

The appropriately named organic farming industry watchdog, The Cornucopia Institute, is all over it. Mac pretty much says it all:

I’m sure this will work in some locations. However, the thing about those of us who care enough about what we put in our bodies to buy organic, well, we are not a stupid bunch. I would guess that a large portion of those who eat organic foods also care about doing what’s best for their communities. They do research. They’re well-informed. Many probably make efforts to buy from local growers. They’re willing to pay more to really know that the food they’re buying is not just organic, but ethically grown.

I'm appalled, unsurprised, and really just hoping the whole thing will fail.

Evil, I tell you.
