[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 264994, member: 2882"] And Wal-Mart is one of the fastest growing companies in the world.. This is absolutely true.. Lemme first say that I hope you're right.. Now, lemme ask, how do you justify your position that demand for "natural"/grass fed beef is going to grow dramatically, when Wal-Mart's sales are already growing dramatically? What I mean is, doesn't it stand to reason that Wal-Mart's tremendous growth is a sign that the 'uninformed/tight budget' segment is growing faster than the 'affluent/educated' segment? If so, then doesn't that mean that the potential customer base for natural/grass fed beef is probably already in decline? Bear in mind that I'm not at all saying you're wrong or anything like that -- again, I hope you're right -- I'm just trying to figure out exactly where you're coming from.. Do you believe that consumers are going to come into more discretionary money in the future, or do you believe that the tight-budget crowd will simply become more educated and be more willing to spare other purchases to buy better beef? Perhaps the logic is that there are many affluent/educated -- but not BEEF educated -- consumers out there already which can be tapped to increase natural/grassfed sales, even as the affluent/educated segment dwindles on the whole? Again, I'm just trying to figure out the angle.. [/QUOTE]
