Walmart and Others Are Being Asked to Stop Selling as Much Meat

"A group of 40 investors managing $1.25 trillion in assets have launched a campaign to encourage 16 global food companies to change the way they source protein for their products to help to reduce environmental and health risks."
"The world’s over reliance on factory farmed livestock to feed the growing global demand for protein is a recipe for a financial, social and environmental crisis,” said Jeremy Coller, founder of the FAIRR initiative and chief investment officer at private equity company Coller Capital."

I agree. Mega farms do some truly sick stuff to their livestock.

Yeah, it just said that companies should fail to meet the demand of their consumers, like you know, that company that can't get enough funds to open up a second location.

Here's what the Arby's Meat Mountain sandwich looks like. There's an Arby's next to the Walmart in Sallisaw, OK.

From a perspective of "do it right or don't do it", I agree with the idea that Walmart stop selling meat. Costco has been offering some pretty good quality beef these days.
