WATCH the video exposing Driscoll's: tinyurl.com/DriscollsMPUSIGN THE PETITION: change.org/StopPoisoningOurSchoolchildrenDriscoll’s Ex-Employee Blows Whistle & Sues Company: David Harada discovered Driscoll’s contracted farmers were applying pesticides above the legal limits. His director of agronomy asked, “Do we have plausible deniability regarding this issue?”“I was completely dumbfounded, mostly because the first words that I expected out of the director's mouth was, ‘How do we fix this?’ Not, ‘How do we hide this?’ It's hard to live with myself knowing that that's still ongoing.I've seen enough bad things that have happened on Driscoll's berries to know that I probably won't touch one for the rest of my life.”Neither should you. BOYCOTT DRISCOLL'S until they change their immoral practices. Stop harming children and communities with toxic pesticides. Stop greenwashing. Stop lying.#BoycottDriscolls #Driscolls #pesticides #PFAS #microplastics #pollution #children #berries #blackberries #blueberries #raspberries #strawberries #fruit #food #health #gmofreecanada #gmofreeusa #toxinfreeusa

These are important connections to maintain."This is a call to all of us, activists, donors, investors, researchers, policymakers, farmers, food workers, communities, entrepreneurs, and eaters, to develop and practice these approaches to tackling the deeper dysfunctions of our food system, especially those rooted in financial flows, even as we work to lessen its immediate harms. We all depend on our food system, and we all have a role to play in transforming it.”Shift the money. Shift the power. organicconsumers.org/food-land-and-money/
We need to aware of laws and polices affecting our industry. We fought a strong battle when Congress, lead by Sen. Henry Waxman, attempted to make all Supplement available by prescription only. The public wrote Congress and the FDA more letters opposing the legislation than they had ever received before. We won with the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.(DSHEA Act) .Sen Dick Durbin has continued to try and shutdown nontoxic Homeopathic Remedies. We need to protect our personal connection with our customers.
