Just to get this out of the way for Roxy, "But will they also ban public buses from idling outside their stores?".

Will other chains follow?

They want to be a health concerned store. But they'll still be selling candy, soda and alcohol.

... and little plastic objects made by Chinese children in sweatshops ...

But I think this is a nice effort, and more than most would make right now.

To be fair, Sun Chips sound healthier because they have Sun in their name.

There's something in it for them no doubt, as they claim they'll be losing 2 billion per year because of this.
I heard one comment alluding to CVS taking steps to become a health store, but who knows.

They're the largest pharmacy chain in the country right now. They can afford to take the hit if it means they'll improve their image. But as in you indicated, if this is where they decide to start down the road, where do they stop? When is it okay to sell a controversial or unhealthy product?

And I always thought Sun Chips would give me a tan or at least make it warmer outside.

Is it bad that I didn't know they sold tobacco products there to begin with?

GOD knows what else they sell that we didn't know they sold but now they're stopping because it's bad.

So there!

Couldn't they just sell them with the fancy little plastic ding-dong flaps they put over their meth-making meds?

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
