Also you may be asked about your ability to fill orders. Wal-Mart volumes are huge. A trial order can easily be 50k units. But be prepared for incredibly low (to you) costs.

And your production facility. Any certifications like GMP, HACCP? Buyer may not ask but you'll probably be asked later during vendor setup.

Not sure about food buyers but in other categories Wal-Mart is also notorious for coming back and asking for margin support. Keep at least 5% in your pocket for later.

If Wal-Mart doesn't work out try HEB in Texas. Good company and supportive of local suppliers. Also Meijer in Michigan- they are known for a broad product selection so stocking your item doesn't necessarily need to push something else out.

Edit - Wal-Mart not Zeal-Mart... strange autocorrect there!

The paper that they refer to in the conclusion says that the assumption is that human trafficking increases because overall demand increases, but that this cannot be proven because of the difficulty of getting valid statistics. It’s an assumption.

They also state, “The likely negative consequences of legalized prostitution on a country’s inflows of human trafficking might be seen to support those who argue in favor of banning prostitution, thereby reducing the flows of trafficking (e.g., Outshoorn, 2005). However, such a line of argumentation overlooks potential benefits that the legalization of prostitution might have on those employed in the industry. Working conditions could be substantially improved for prostitutes – at least those legally employed – if prostitution is legalized. Prohibiting prostitution also raises tricky “freedom of choice” issues concerning both the potential suppliers and clients of prostitution services. A full evaluation of the costs and benefits, as well as of the broader merits of prohibiting prostitution, is beyond the scope of the present article.”

Given this is the paper’s conclusion it seems misleading for that group to cite them in support of not legalizing prostitution.

Did you ever meet Gerhard Berger? He was supposed to be a funny guy, always playing tricks on people... even Senna apparently.
