Sad doesn't begin to describe this situation. It is an outrage. Raintree Nutrition is a highly reputable company delivering pure, sustainable products. This country has the boot of the federal bureaucrats on it's neck and I am not sure we will survive them. 'Their' goal is to keep us sick.
If our government was a mental patient, the diagnosis would be 'split personality disorder'. Our first lady touts fresh, wholesome foods, approves of regulations determining school lunches while the FDA allows GMO foods, aspertame, flouride and pulls stunts like this, also locking up farmers out in Calif who are trying to make available organic products for the public. Oh.. let's not forget NYC legislating the size of soft drinks. Whew.. don't know what came over me.. but excuse the rant. lol... Lola H.
