Walmart worked its way into SA as well after we banned them. They found some kind of loophole so now they trade under our "local" warehouse type of stores. Sneeky buggers.
das cus capitolisim iz bad.

Seriously though, that's insane.
So, is Walmart the biggest supermarket in Oosa? Are there others, and does Walmart dominate them? 'Cause we haven't got Walmart over here, just several different supermarkets that are all roughly the same size, so I'm curious.
I'm fairly certain it is, but I can't be sure.

Yeah, Walmart's bad. The only reason we're able to have a grocery store is because the grocery store has things Walmart doesn't have.

Also, in the US anyway, Walmart uses minor radiation to increase the shelf life of the fruits and veggies. So, you're getting radiation in your food, which also decreases the amount of vitamins and minerals in those delicious fruits and veggies. I'm not quite sure how it's legal to do that...

If you radiate fruit and veg, they don't become radioactive and it doesn't decrease the nutritional value. Although, extended storage can cause a decrease in nutritional value due to the oxidation and the general decay process. They radiate the fruits and vegetables for phytosanitary and quarantine reasons when exported/imported - it sterilize/kills insects that might have snuck in the packaging.

Radiation treatment is perfectly legal even though there is a lot of controversy around it since the general public is so scared if they
Debbie knows her fruits and veggies, she teaches classes on them.
..and was involved in research involving radiation of various fruits and vegetables for quarantine.

(extension of Grungie's post)
Yeah, that sounds like a myth. Particularly as radiation is just the movement of energy. It could be that they're treated with thermal radiation - that would be completely detrimental to what they were trying to achieve, but you get the point.

Also, my family freaked out when I told them that oranges sold in this country are dyed to make them orange, until I told them it uses a gas that's naturally emitted by some fruits anyway.
