I am guilty of being less than proactive in otehr areas, but this one is easy to keep up. I hate Nestle. I am glad that none of my limited finances go to further their ethics. Although most of the information I know about Walmart is second, third-hand, it's still reliable enough for me to shop elsewhere.
I daresay it's true that Walmart treats its immediate employees extremely well. The problem is that many large corporations are able to have this as a handy distraction from the few-degrees-removed exploitation of those even more in need than Mr Meet and Greet.
The most alarming thing about Walmart, as I have found in my limited experience of it, is that it will invariably stink of shitty nappies (daipers).
