We get it, Walmart. You’re a giant company that can put its big ol’
boots on and stomp out local competition. But local farmers and farmers
markets? C’mon!
A new TV commercial airing of late wants you to know where you can get
the BEST PRODUCE ANYWHERE. Not your local grocery store. And certainly
not your local farmers market -- if you’re lucky enough to have one in
your town. No, it’s at Walmart. Aren’t you surprised? You're supposed to
be.
And to demonstrate this point, the ad shows a fresh-faced Walmart
representative showing up at a farmers market in Anytown, USA,
encouraging customers to try the Walmart fresh produce. Not the stupid
locally grown stuff. The customers, of course, rave about the quality
of the fruits and veggies, and one says something like, “I know where I’ll be getting my fresh produce from now on!”
