Default Fight Nuts With Nuts!
I created this site today to encourage more contact and publicity about the Raw Almond issue.

Fight nuts with nuts!

Send the California Almond Board some delicious, raw peanuts! Since we can't eat their raw almonds anymore..

Thanks for the humorous alternative to the letter writing. I've been sick over the decision for months.

I'll buy my nuts and send them. I'll also write to Whole Foods and Trader Joes.

Thanks for caring.....

Jennifer

I added a style sheet and one more graphic, and fixed a couple typos.

Will be submitting to consumerist.

I wonder if they can't be sued for false advertising? For putting on a package something that isn't true.

In fact, there are entire restaurant chains dedicated to raw food who are being mislead.
Should be "misled". Where's my red pen?
