Whole foods can't be faked. An apple is an apple. A whole chicken is a whole chicken. There are different farming techniques, pesticides etc but the less processing there is, the less opportunity for quality slippage as well. And it's up to the consumer to fill their cart with highly-processed or minimally-processed items. And like any other grocer, Walmart offers the same spectrum of options.

As I recall, Walmart fills their meat with water, increasing the weight and decreasing their costs.

Found it. "Wal-Mart, for example, says a majority of its fresh offerings are enhanced with a 6 to 12 percent solution of water, salt, sodium phosphate and natural flavorings."

That's very common, not unique to WalMart.

Salt water is definitely cheaper than meat...
