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...
