New post on Fellowship of the Minds |  | Sustainability and Walmart? Yup!!! Penny Starr reporting for CNS News: (CNSNews.com) – Shoppers in the grocery aisles of Walmart will soon see a new icon popping up on foods deemed healthier by the retail giant, which will also track how many of those items make it to the checkout counter. Corporate officials unveiled the "Great for You" icon at an event in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. The new signage is part of a wider Walmart campaign, announced last year alongside First Lady Michelle Obama. Andrea Thomas, the company's vice-president of sustainability, said the company would monitor how shoppers react. "We will have actual learning now of when you put an icon on a package and when you have criteria such as ours, does that shift behaviors?" Thomas said. "We'll be able to track when the icon goes on a particular product; what happens to sales within that category, what happens to sales across categories." Thomas said the green-and-white logo featuring a leaping or exercising stick figure will be rolled out in the produce section of Walmart grocery isles in April and will then be added to packaging over the next year. "We'll be able to see, as soon as those signs roll out, how does the purchase behavior shift because of that information?" Thomas said. The Walmart campaign announced last July with the First Lady includes the labeling on products and plans to build stores in areas which the Department of Agriculture has determined to be "food deserts." Here is what someone found in the toy department at Walmart - The Corps: WORLD Action Force On the box it reads "In a time of confusion, a fearful world requires men of honor and courage to step forward: heroes whose mettle has been tested and whose skills have been honed. From around the world they step forward. The best of the best. And take up the mantle of The Corps! An ever-ready team devoted to protecting every person, every country; our world" [I'm sure these "action figures" are made in "green factories?" in China - snarc] And here is a special treat - Walmart's Sustainability 2.0
Conservatives don't want their food monitored, their children indoctrinated, or their behavior "shifted." The Bible says that the body of a Christian is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. It is not for a sinister world government joined with a private/public partnership to determine how you treat that temple - that is between you and the Lord. This has nothing to do with making us healthy - it is about control. Period. 
Wal-Mart Sustainability video states: "In the decades ahead, a dramatic new world will begin to take shape. Powerful forces have already begun to contribute to this transformation." For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
