Let me state for the record that I love Walmart. I really really do. I pretty much figure that if Walmart doesn't have it, I don't need it.

Except for their meat. Due to some pesky food allergies, I'm an extremely fussy eater. No processed food, no additives, no preservatives... basically no junk. And I've heard that Walmart meat is full of junk. So I don't eat it.

Well, the other day I was at my favorite store and remembered that I needed some dog food. My dogs are on a BARF diet ("bones and raw food"), so I picked up some chicken wings for them.

Lo and behold... my dogs wouldn't eat them. Ziggers laid her wing down on the floor and looked puzzled. I picked up the wing and gave it to her again. She tried to please me by walking around with it in her mouth for a minute or two, but as soon as she was out of my sight, she set it down again. And walked away. From raw meat.

AHA! I suddenly remembered another time I'd fed them Walmart chicken wings with a slightly different result - as soon as the wings went down, they, well, came back up. Now, my dogs love chicken wings - they eat them all the time and the ones from the Piggly Wiggly or Winn Dixie go down and stay down.

But not from Walmart.

So, from here on out... we shall buy our chicken wings elsewhere...
