Walmart is unashamedly reporting that it is observing how customers' use of prescription drugs affect how much they eat, as tracked by how much food they buy on the store
How exactly do you correlate amount bought and amount eaten, what happens if I buy food and buy extra food to help out a neighbour who can't get out for example. ?
