Do you pay extra for organic?

So do I.

Do you avoid conventional stores and make your way to the nearest Whole Foods or small organic grocery store when it’s time to stock your kitchen pantry?

So do I.

Have you given your loyalty to the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and USDA Organic brand labels?

So have I.

If California is aerially sprayed with the LBAM spray, there will be no more organic food in California.

This spray is made up of a combination of synthetics, carcinogens, surfactants, and mystery ingredients which will be sprayed all over the San Francisco Bay Area, just as it has been in the Monterey and Santa Cruz region of California.

After the spraying in southern California, rivers were covered with surfactant foam and the ocean experienced the largest red tide in recent history. This is the water that is being used to irrigate any crops grown in that vicinity. It is poisonous.

The same thing will happen to our water if the aerial spraying of the Bay Area is not halted.

The spray will come down like rain on our soil, filling it indiscriminately with toxins and particulate plastic.

No farm, no backyard garden, will be organic after we are sprayed.

Attention Whole Foods and all California grocery stores trading on the organic label:

• If California is sprayed, there will no longer be a reason for us to spend extra for organic produce or products.
• We do not support the cowardly stance being taken by the NOP that declares carcinogenic, sprayed produce can be sold as organic.
• We all may as well go back to shopping at Safeway if California organic grocery stores can no longer offer us genuinely organic food.

Farming organically is not supposed to hinge on profit. Leave that to the conventional growers. Organic farmers must place priority concern on the health of the growing environment and on the health of human consumers.

We urge the Whole Foods Market chain, its California stores, and all Californian organic grocery stores and farmers to take a firm and humane stance against the spraying of California. Please, protect the soil. Protect the water. Protect the plants, animals, and human beings of California. Show us where you stand. Please act to stop the spraying. Please save the organic industry.
