Watch, as grocery stores abandon poorer areas and the drug stores become the new corner store; driving out "Joe's Corner Store" for CVS. Already, big grocers stay out of poor neighborhoods; this move will turn private businesses into national chains. and with it even higher prices.

For some reason going to WalMart or Target for groceries does not sound right. and I certainly would not go to Walgreens or CVS either. Why? Well, how fresh will their food be? At a supermarket, stock is constantly being changed, the stores are inspected by the heath department, etc. Will they do the same thing at CVS or Walgreens; I think not.

In the end, the result of this will be higher food prices fro all.
