WALTER ROBB'S BLOG ON PROP 37

http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/blog/california-proposition-37



I would like to understand the policy better than does not allow them to contribute directly to political campaigns as one of the comments says.

It was at the National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa on September 11. I stopped in at the WFM there and discussed Prop 37 support. It was a couple weeks after that I started to see posters at WFM in LA. There were Prop 37 Yes stickers early on in October at the Hillcrest WFM store.

I know that Whole Foods Market, and Walt Robb is very supportive of the Non GMO effort.

I have an outstanding video I have to revise that will be up before long again.


FOUND THIS ON WALT ROBB's BLOG




This is an important talk to students at WSU from Walt Robb. They have a good organic farming department here. This video is important to give a good perspective on what WFM is doing.

I am friends with Michael Besancon, who was the #4 in WFM for numbers of years.

MICHAEL BESANCON....HE WAS THE MAN THAT BOUGHT BE CLOSER TO WHOLE FOODS BECAUSE OF OUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP

Michael was the #4 man at WFM, some have said.

Here is a story about my original avocado sandwich maker who I met at Follow Your Heart in the early 70's.
