Remember wally and friends have lots of folks trained to think they are
wonderful. You can obviously make a lot more money selling adulterated
pork than normal pork and if you have your customers trained they don't
seem to care...

I don't know anything about HEB but they seem very similar in size to a
regional chain here. The chain is family owned, doesn't sell adulterated
meats and you will spend less than the megamart but they don't have the
marketing warchest of the mega places to point it out so they need to
target their advertising.

The regional chain here did similar marketing last year. There were lots
of billboards and similar advertising pointing out they don't sell
adulterated meat like the megaplaces. So far they are still honest.
