Comments on: My Conversation With Whole Foods Corporate Headquarters About The LBAM Spray http://www.veganreader.com/2008/04/18/my-conversation-with-whole-foods-corporate-headquarters/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:21:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: janice morris http://www.veganreader.com/2008/04/18/my-conversation-with-whole-foods-corporate-headquarters/#comment-457 janice morris Mon, 12 May 2008 18:43:34 +0000 http://www.veganreader.com/?p=70#comment-457 Hi There, Good Work, I wrote to Whole Foods Corporate 2 months ago . No reply. They cannot and I dare say don't want to take a definite stand against spraying. Don't forget they sell Stewart Resnicks, other products, PomWonderful and Fiji Water. Probably some of his commercial pistachios. If folks wanted to make a statement to Stewart Resnick, they would at once, boycott those drinks, his commercial pistachios and his citrus fruit, most often sold at Costco. The only way to express ones self and have an effect on a huge money man like Resnick is to effect his company's gross profit. Boycott his products if you even use any of them. I don't. If any folks want to come tonite to the Daly City Council meeting 7-9 P.M we are presenting oral communication to create a resolution to oppose the spraying.

Thank you. I'm very glad Whole Foods is supporting CCOF. Now, my next question. What are Whole Foods' plans for supporting this? With millions of Californians' health at stake, we are desperately hoping that Whole Foods will come out STRONGLY on this, educate customers, use their valued position in the community as a center for organics and health to demand that the aerial spraying, which is being called by independent doctors and scientists human experimentation, be halted immediately. Whole Foods could do so much. Your press contacts, your international presence, are considerable and your company could be instrumental in saving the lives that our doctors and scientists tell us will be lost if the spraying isn't halted. Please, I urge you, don't be quiet backing CCOF. Be bold. Get heard. Demand the spraying be stopped to protect the very organics that are the heart of Whole Foods. Thank you! Mim Dear Jessie,

Please, I urge you, don’t be quiet backing CCOF. Be bold. Get heard. Demand the spraying be stopped to protect the very organics that are the heart of Whole Foods.
