Boycott California Almonds

It is clear that the Almond Board of California has only its own financial interests in mind regarding its decision to pasteurize all California almonds. No consideration is being shown for the health of its customers as they continue to ignore the public outcry.

It is also clear that the Almond Board of California (with the help of the FDA) intends to move forward deceptively by mislabeling these pasteurized almonds as raw – a fraud that can only be described as criminal.

We must send a message they cannot ignore. Words alone are not enough. Action is required.

Therefore, I call for an immediate Boycott of all California almonds and California almond products.

Since money is all they are concerned with, a Boycott is the most effective way to send a message that we will not stick our heads in the sand while they proceed with this atrocity and deception. We will not accept an inferior product. We must show them now what the future holds for them should they choose to go ahead with their plan.

Moreover, we will not allow the FDA to look the other way while any company blatantly lies to its consumers.

Act now! Take a stand and Keep Raw Almonds Truly Raw.

This Boycott – effective immediately – affects all California almonds and products made with California almonds and will only be lifted when the Almond Board of California repeals its decision to go forward with its misguided plan.

Please forward this message to as many people as you can and spread the word:
Do NOT buy any more California almonds or almond products until you hear the Almond Board of California has changed its decision.

Together we can save ourselves from this attack on our health and attempted violation of our rights.

Be bold. Be resolute.

Be well.
