Good News For Nut Lovers – But Your Help is Needed!

Hi Everyone!  It’s Amy here with another Raw World News update.  As many of you know raw almonds were recently banned for sale in the United States due to 2 salmonella outbreaks that have occurred on non-organic, industrial almond farms.  As it currently stands, even almonds labelled as raw are actually pasteurized.  Unfortunately, this pasteurization not only means all almonds can be cooked for sanitary reasons, but can actually be commonly fumigated with a highly toxic gas.

Aside from the obvious impact on the nutritional quality of our foods, this legislation means significant financial burdens on small-scale and organic farmers.

Thanks to the Cornucopia Institute and concerned citzens, reform to this legislation is being considered.  Your help is needed to get word to the people making these decisions!  If you would like the law on raw almonds reconsidered, please follow this link.  Learn more and take action today!

It’s when we stand together that we become the most powerful.  If you think that one person doesn’t make a difference, think again!  You can change the world!
