wal-mart bloomberg is reporting wal-mart is the new gold attracting investors who see its shares as a safe haven the reason why this appealed to me and i thought it was interesting to me tree is what is this saying that poverty and government subsidies are the safest bet because as you heard michael krieger at the top of our show say that wal-mart is heavily driven by food standards for food so food stands and then as a safe haven bet is that people are going to continue to be financially strapped for cash and be looking for the best deal in town it's a kind of perverse logic works if you're an individual investor but macro wise so you know and it's funny too it's funny because they were like talking about how low prices because that's the thing that wal-mart always talks about low prices and that makes sense and it's good we don't want low prices but the stock market and investing is the only place where people are looking for what's rising in price and we want to we get worried if things drop in price but in reality it's a good thing interest but it's leverage is the problem you get

wal-mart went through transition a few years ago. we believed in the very beginning as you would expect that customers and associates were two key stakeholders. did we care about shareholders quite sure. any business cares about shareholders. if you focus on associate and they're happy and have opportunities and the customers are happy sounds good. when we became bed can we do did not get the memo on the moment that occurred. but when we became big, societal expectations were higher than what i just described. so starting to listen more to people like dr. gail and others to say you need to think differently about the environment and social issues has led us to a point where we are today. we are still maturing, but we have a different point of view. one of those areas is in the area of women. so we know that women are disproportionately impoverished, disproportionally literate. they have a hard time as entrepreneurs gain access to capital. we know what women spend many oncoming typically children an education and health care than the

giant companies like wal-mart or now the biggest grocery store. in america. and huge other grocery chain. all getting by these huge wind organizations are reporting downward pressure on prices. or the great any short break. that was barry estabrook author of the book tomato land and we're going to leave it off there for more on the stories we covered you can check out our you tube channel we pose all of our interviews in full that is you tube dot com slash our team america and check out stories that we don't always have time to get to on the air our web producer is our busy work in a way that's our teeth dot com slash usa and you can also follow me at liz wall on twitter we'll be back here at ten pm to see that. the the.

spirit so a lot of retailers don't like to be here wal-mart has good reason some can take advantage of that by emphasizing that there are places that. while we're looking at a lot of the say long every other retailer is how do you get somebody what they want it looks like price they can feel good about it on their way wal-mart i think the average very close or what our our stores the average experience both reported all right so we are seeing this trend and clearly more people are turning to convenience stores to get their food just what does that mean in terms of american health we're already seeing this obesity epidemic how is this playing into into that. well there's two parts of the equation. looking at what's happening in terms of obesity. what you're seeing in the wars is not necessarily solely for food but more options as well so you go to be it's not difficult to find something like yogurt or dried berries or fresh fruit or to share sandwiches with anything you want to. have stores over some of the work for additional thought of as fast as restaurants you probably have a lit

a little different that wal-mart is of course. and they can do anything they want and the fact that wal-mart sells organic i think is amazing. but i think the larger question is really don't know what this is going to do them in the long term and be nice if the government mandated this is just. about everything else and that the reason they don't it's assumed that this is exactly like any other point you buy on the shelf at their. level and organise them and therefore we. need but i mean with that i know that it's not exactly the same because it has been genetically modified to contain the of toxins that are found in dogs and you know what that kind of sounds like can an episode of fear factor and if that scares you let's take a look at that first there. you got it you got it you got a rabbit. what i want. to wait. if you're cringing when you're watching that i can't even really watch the thing i mean should you be disgusted at what's inside your cord because i mean it's being derived from insects. no it's really not. the. case ex

it is and i think it would be nice to label it i think wal-mart put a label on it. and think that's not a bad thing i think you know the pending legislation in california hopefully something will labeling law place maybe that the country will follow suit i think and people can be assured that nothing that happens to them when they eat anything modified foods they have to be scared and labeling i think is the only really legitimate way to address those concerns so essentially what this does my understanding it liquefies that down make lining the bug that would consume corn so essentially does it mean then is being used in food crops. you know unlike anything specifically target. of. this really doesn't affect other creatures. years ago the butterflies killed all. but i can. certainly doesn't affect. them there's no way it's everywhere like much bacteria whole bodies. and the b.p. is not natural. and they've been using it for a long time but that's nothing new even. megan it's. you know and i think people are hearing that a lot of the increase in allergies of the pare

change is the cream over the supermarket business in the last thirty years giant companies like wal-mart or now the biggest grocery store. in america. and huge other grocery chains all getting by these huge buying organizations are reporting downward pressure on prices and so farmers have to take any shortcuts they can. what will it take barry to reverse this to bring back you know the good old tomatoes and to bring back the good old fruits and vegetables that were rich in nutrients and. how do we how do we get that back. well you could. come into the sense i mean we are going use the old words that surveys show that american consumers rank tomatoes for instance at the very bottom of the dissatisfied product is the mark we still buys i think when people get educated and have a good tomato if you get one row and locally are you going to all and that the world of difference in the taste people will come along very well at a time but that is very interesting thanks so much for coming on the show appreciate it that was very asin for the author of tomato land and that's going to wrap it up fo

you can you can go to wal-mart and up. serve people pretty much hanging around waiting for the new money to to show up on their card so that they can buy some food. and if it's food prices go up then these people will be malnourished they're already malnourished because they buy the cheapest stuff and they eat it and it hurts their health i think in the united states it'll be less less of a riot type scene but more of just steady degradation and a lot of misery. but i think in other parts of the world there will be a bit of an explosion having to do with the fact that a lot of people will simply be priced out of the food market. and if you look at how food prices bikes correlate with revolt and revolution around the world it's right it's really quite significant every time there's a massive food spike there's a lot of our people in various places in the world and the places that are closest to the edge of the places where people spend most of their income on food. you know the place that's been in constant upheaval is has
