      @@dienekes4364 Actually, Walmart is one of the largest employers nationwide, and if they were to go out of business right now, 1.4 million people would be without a job. No one is forced to work there, or anywhere else in the United States. You can always learn new skills and apply to other jobs. The term "exploit" implies that people are being forced to work there which isnt true. If you want to make more than minimum wage, you need to develop more than minimum skills and have more than minimum enthusiasm. If walmart were to raise wages, they could no longer afford to have the low prices they do, and they would no longer be able to employ so many people. Walmart has made basic goods available at extremely low prices thanks to their ability to commit to such large quantities. If you apply to Costco yourself, you will discover that they only hire seasonal employees, part time, and in some cases (like butchers) pay about 25% less than the competition. You do have the ability to get called after the season for a full time offer, and I have nothing against this practice, as its determined by free market forces. No one is forced to work there either. The most basic skill you can do in our economy today is run a cash register. If that's all you have to offer, you arent in a place to ask for higher wages. Theres people without any wage at all that will happy replace a minimum wage cashier for the same postion. In fact, theres a large line of people waiting for that opportunity. When you apply to and accept a job, you are agreeing to exchange your time and labor for the agreed upon rate. That's not exploitation, that's a mutual agreement and exchange. If Walmart or Costco goes out of business, the owners (shareholders) will take huge devestating and permanent losses, meanwhile the minimum wage worker will be compensated with unemployment and without taking the risk of owning the business, can simply get another minimum wage job somewhere else.
      Every business is profit seeking. Even the companies that treat their employees great and provide great benefit packages do so to attract better talent who will in turn provide higher quality work which will turn a better profit. They are two strategies with the same goal. Costco isnt a nonprofit. If you expect your employer not to care about profits, you shouldnt care about getting paid.

    Thomas, I love these "hauls" you've been doing. They're so interesting, to see your thought processes and what's wise and not so not wise to buy. I hope you do more of these hauls. I'm finding them interesting as I mentioned, but also good fun and a great reminder of what I need to get at the supermarket! :)

    Hey, Thomas, you're always hating on carrageenan. Have you considered making a video about most of the stabilizers/stuff-like-that that we can find in the processed foods? Like gellan gum and other stuff... which ones are a total no-go and which ones are acceptable?

      I would pay attention to carageenan which is a carcinogen (breaks down into one) and with gums rather focus on how well you tolerate them (: going paleo isnt just to eat all natural for names sake, you also have to consider which minimally processed foods do or dont affect you. Of coarse not Gold fish, crackers, or processed meats with nitrates added, rather a little food dye, guar and gellan gum, sunflower lecithn, do or do you not tolerate them?
