In Response to Chris Beland Selling Beer in Starbucks

I few months ago i had read an article where Burger King was going to start selling beer at a few of its burger shops to test the market, only three stores out of the entire chain were going to attempt this. One was in Las Vegas and the other two were in Florida. The first thought was can you get beer in the drive thru? but the answer was no. It was for guests that wanted to have a beer with their burgers, absolutely nothing wrong with that in my eye. Needless to say i understood why Burger King would want to sell beer within their establishment, but i am having a hard time wrapping my mind around why Starbucks needs to sell beer in their stores? I would think that would be the last place that demanded alcohol. I am not objecting the idea i just feel that Starbucks is not the place to sell beer, but if there is a demand and they can make money on it, I'm all for it. What do other people think about selling beer in Starbucks vs Burger King?

Walmart Starting To Sell Healthier Food

Today while browsing Google news, I found a topic that really caught my eye, a news article on the worlds largest superstore starting to carry healthier food, and its all a part of Walmart’s recent “Pledge to start selling healthier food” this is a five step process that they have towards meeting there healthier food goals, some of these goals include “making healthier choices more affordable” and “ providing solutions to address food deserts by building stores”. (A food desert is when a Wal-Mart  has little or no access to affordable nutritious food) Wal-Mart will start placing a label on the front label on product packaging. There is a great video on this Walmart’s stand on this issue. (http://walmartstores.com/pressroom/news/10818.aspx)

This is great news and I must say I am happy to see Wal-Mart taking such a healthy stand on its grocery industry. Wal-Mart is the largest superstore in the country, and millions of people shop there. Putting healthier food on Wal-Mart shelves essentially will have the American people eating healthier. Someone shopping at Wal-Mart for their groceries in my opinion is going to substitute what they can only get at Wal-Mart, why drive to another supermarket to get something when Wal-Mart has a close second or third brand to the one you initially wanted? What I’m getting at is that people buy items at Wal-Mart because that’s where there are and its all their shopping in once place they don’t want to waste gas driving to another store.. Customers in my opinion will love this new healthy food stance Wal-Mart is taking, what are your opinions on Wal-Marts new healthy food stance?

In Response To Matt's NASA Reaches Dark Side of The Moon

I saw the video and it was really cool. To think that that part of the moon has never been seen before in astonishing. I hope the hype and interest sparks a public interest to attempt to go back to the moon.
Seeing as we have not put a man on the moon since 1972 I personally would like to see another lunar trip conducted. I hope NASA can get the grants and the interest they need to put another human on the moon. Do you think something like this is good for our economy? or is it a waste of money?
