Introduction
Walmart is one of the largest retailers in the world, and it is known for its wide selection of products. Recently, Walmart has been considering getting rid of a certain product in all of its stores. This product is called “Eat This Not That,” and it is a book series that provides advice on healthy eating. The books are written by nutrition experts and provide tips on how to make healthier food choices. Walmart’s decision to potentially get rid of this product has sparked a debate about the importance of healthy eating and the role of retailers in promoting it. In this article, we will discuss the potential implications of Walmart’s decision and what it could mean for the future of healthy eating.
Walmart May Get Rid of This in All Stores — Eat This Not That
Walmart is reportedly considering getting rid of a popular item in all of its stores. According to Business Insider, the retail giant is considering removing tobacco products from its shelves. This would be a major shift for the company, which has long been a major seller of cigarettes and other tobacco products.
The move comes as Walmart is looking to focus more on healthier options for its customers. The company has already made changes to its food selection, adding more organic and natural products. Removing tobacco products would be another step in that direction.
If Walmart does decide to stop selling tobacco products, it would join a growing list of retailers that have done the same. CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid have all stopped selling cigarettes and other tobacco products in recent years. Walmart could be the latest to join the trend.
If you’re looking for healthier alternatives to tobacco products, there are plenty of options. You can try nicotine replacement therapy, such as patches or gum, or you can switch to vaping. There are also a variety of herbal and natural products that can help you quit smoking.
No matter what you choose, it’s important to remember that quitting smoking is a process. It takes time and dedication, but it can be done. With the right support and resources, you can make a successful transition to a healthier lifestyle.
Costco recently came under fire for not working to reduce its climate impact quickly enough, and now Walmart is facing something similar. However, America’s largest retail chain is now experimenting with ways to become more environmentally friendly—and one way is to get rid of waste in stores.
In the first few months of 2022, Walmart is testing alternatives to single-use plastics that are being used for the retailer’s curbside pickup and home delivery services.
A program is now in place at a store in New York to use tote bags for Walmart’s InHome Delivery service. These can be reused and washed, unlike the disposable bags that previously allowed Walmart employees to bring groceries directly into customers’ kitchens, CNBC reports. (For more on what’s changing at the grocery store, here are 6 Things You’ll See at Costco This Year.)
A spokesperson for Walmart told CNBC that they are “scouring” for areas where plastics can be eliminated while still being able to keep fruits and vegetables fresh, but that these changes can take time. For example, a plastic window was recently removed from a box that holds plastic utensils sold at 4,7000 stores… but the cutlery itself is still plastic.
In addition, not all of Walmart’s products are manufactured by the company. Getting other brands to commit to reducing waste is another step in the process.
Like Costco, organizations are emphasizing that big brands aren’t working hard enough. “Companies need to be bolder and they need to move faster,” Judith Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, told CNBC when asked about the reusable delivery bags Walmart is testing in New York. “These shouldn’t be pilots. They should be standard store policy.”
Costco’s board of directors argued in January against a shareholder proposal to move up key environmental initiatives, saying that it needed more time to “determine how we can achieve meaningful and operationally-viable absolute C02 reductions in our operations and our global value chain.”
So, could the end of plastic shopping bags and other plastic products in stores be near? Probably not. In the meantime, it’s up to you, the shopper, to reduce your plastic use while stores like Walmart find ways to help. On an unrelated note, though, it seems the retailer is taking strides to prevent shoplifters from taking a certain kind of meat.
