I live in a small town and there are three grocers here. One of them is Wal-Mart and the other two are hometown types of places.

I patronize Wally World now and then, but I mostly shop at the sorta local supermarket which is part of a small chain.

Anyway, Monday I notice they had a few signs up pointing out that none of their meat came from this place and that all of it was sourced 'locally' which could mean anywhere with-in the state. I asked why the signs and they said their meat sales had taken a massive hit so they just wanted to get the word out that they were not a part of this deal.

There is one small grocer that sells only the meat they grow on their ranch. Their sales have picked up a bit but not much. Most people just seem to be avoiding all meat if they are concerned about this, at least around here.
