<<"US Grocers and food manufacturers are still eating higher raw food prices,
in large part because Wal-Mart—with a 40% market share—continues to
subsidize general merchandise sales with cheap food. Either Wal-Mart is
about to reconstitute itself as a tax-exempt charity devoted to feeding the
poor and the lower middle class, or food prices will climb. Sharply.">>>>


Can anyone explain to me here how Wal-mart would be doing this??? I understand how Wal-mart can sell it's food items at it's cost or even below it's cost if it wanted....

...but how the hell can Wal-Mart decide what food manufactures sell the food for at wholesale? This doesn't quite make sense to me.
