This is so important! I hope everyone who chooses to spend more of their hard-earned money on the extra price of organics and other natural foods will call/write or tell their Whole Foods local managers and other organic markets/natural food store owners that everyone who sells organic and “natural” foods should sign this pledge.
Take Action: DON’T FALL FOR THE ‘WHOLE FOODS’ *MYSTIC*…TELL THEM TO STOP Perpetrating “Natural” Fraud…tell them that YOU WANT ORGANIC FOOD FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY!
Ask Whole Foods and UNFI to Sign the Sustainable Food Pledge…
Ask Whole Foods and its main supplier, UNFI, to:
1. Cease marketing conventional food as “natural” and instead double the sales of certified organic foods and products, from one-third to two-thirds of sales by 2013.
2. Support smaller retailers and co-ops that seriously promote organics by providing UNFI’s highest discounts that are currently enjoyed by Whole Foods and UNFI’s conventional grocery chain customers.
3. Adopt a purchasing policy that emphasizes the sustainability of family-scale organic farms and local producers.
4. Adopt, monitor and enforce domestic fair trade standards that honor: workers’ rights to a safe and healthy work environment; workers’ rights to a decent standard of living; job security based on years of loyal service; and the right of workers to expeditiously choose - free from management influence or interference - union representation and collective bargaining.
5. Promote a sustainable environment that includes the human right to health care; safe, healthy and nutritional foods; and the elimination of business practices that accelerate climate change/environmental destruction.
