They wanted to make healthful eating simple. By bringing premade meals to areas where quick and easy often means high calorie and low new trgsal quality. Do you find that people are surprised when they walk in and see what they get for the same price of a value meal at a fastfood restaurant. Totally. I think theyre surprised at the price. Theyre also surprised at the quality and selection of the food.

All cooked not on site but a central kitchen a few miles away. Further reducing costs. The whole thing has been designed to to be as economical as possiblement.

Farmers grow what people want. What people demand. And so we, we kept increasing because it kept selling. We have all heard the advice, eat the colors of the rainbow. Here in hawaii, this brightly colored spice, just might be the pot of gold at the end of one too. ,,,,,,, in most parts of the american west, the world of the cowboy has long since passed. Replaced by shopping malls and interstate highways, but for one afternoon, at least, cowboy justice rode off the ranch into a walmart parking lot. Steve hartman explains. 28yearold robert borba one of the last of a kind. A real, honest to goodness, cow roping cowboy. Robert works at a ranch outside eagle point oregon. But we didnt come here to see his prowess in the cow corrals. We came here because of what he did recently amongst the cart corrals of this walmart parking lot. It happened so fast. Few months ago, robert moseyed over to the walmart for dog foot. And on the way out, he heard a woman screaming. Stop him. Stop him. He stole my bike. Stole my bike. Kind of look around. Then all of a sudden the guy goes whizzing guy on the bicycle. As the security cameras show. No way to catch him on foot. So the cowboy did what cowboys do. He saddled up to save the day. Armed with little more than a lasso. Couple swings. Then i threw it at him. Just like i would steer. He had to be blown away, what is going on . Like what are you doing, man . You got a badge . No i aint got a badge. Lot of people were incredulous. 911. The cavalry arrived. Led by chris adams. I looked up from the horse. A rope attached. Holding on to a tree. Its real. It was real. In fact here is a picture. On the left see the suspect. Roped, tied like a steer headed for the pen. You ought to pick up the rope and throw the gun away. Might have better luck. He started laughing. What made you decide to take action in the first place. Heroes like cowboys are getting harder to find. Especially modest ones like robert who want nothing in return. When it was over police say all he asked for was his rope back. Coiled it up. Tipped his hat. And then rode off into the yellow logo sunset. Blazing saddles. Ell that is the overnight news for this friday. For some, the news continues. For others check back later for the morning news. Its friday, march 10th, 2017. This is the cbs morning news.
