I didn't try Walmart, but I have tried to find bowls made in the US
(or a country with modern labor laws) at a number of places. It seems
to be very hard. I was just looking for oversized cereal/soup bowls
and I had no luck. I ended up at Target getting some nice bowls made
in India. I felt guilty but I really needed bowls and there just
weren't any (out of at least 20 or 25 choices for bowls of varying
materials) made in the U.S.

Sigh.

Sorry, I know that's not quite the same topic but... I needed to get
that off my chest.
