8. I think you're giving Wal-Mart too much credit!

They'll probably claim that when they said "organic" they just meant "carbon-based."

9. I did assume they dared spell khemicals wrong to allow chemicals to be permissible.

Remember the "Made in USA" campaign of 10 years ago? Every item on the racks with signs that said "Made in USA" was made in other countries.
