Interesting. Kroger is a unionized company and Walmart is very anti-union.

That is not entirely correct. Grupo Bimbo has a bakery in Elkhart, IN. I imagine they have bakeries all over this country. In Elkhart they make Thomas English muffins.

Thank you! It's not enough to say that we tax sugar here. We have a tariff on sugar and the amount we are allowed to import is limited.

I welcome all the protectionists on FR to explain to me what benefits have accrued to us as a nation from this policy.
