Edit: Rare Pat On Back For Walmart

Wal-Mart takes its fair share of bashing from the public -- and rightly so in many cases, as its business practices and treatment of employees are often questionable at best. The retailing giant, however, deserves recognition for its announcement last week that it would ask its meat, seafood, poultry, deli and egg suppliers to adopt animal welfare standards that include sufficient space and easy access to food and water. Wal-Mart also said it would ask its suppliers to report on their use of antibiotics and limit use to sick animals/Devin Rokyta, Moscow-Pullman Daily News. More here.

Question: Do you have anything nice to say about Walmart?
