Walmart makes healthy food announcement in D.C.

We were wondering why Wal-Mart had chosen D.C. as the location for its Thursday morning announcement on its plans to sell healthier foods. Was it because the District is so important in the stores plans to open open urban stores? Is Wal-Mart trying to tell the nation’s capital that it’s fat?

Well, maybe. But the real reason appears to be that they wanted first lady Michelle Obama to appear as part of the rollout and so they centered the annoucement in her backyard.
