Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

Oh really? Shit, I missed that, I'm going to have to edit a couple comments.

It's over 50%, according to Wikipedia, so the basic gist still works. It's a Walton company with some outside investors.

Thank you for doing the math, unfortunately SEC won't even load for me.

I'd expect they'd want to keep more, but I guess they could just rely on a small share of the other voting investors to pass whatever they need, since opposition is never perfectly unanimous.
