phony organics

So here I am eating organic pumpkin seeds from a company "based" in Dayville, Connecticut called Woodstock Farms. The companies mission statement states "Our farmers, their harvest and your well being are the heart and soul of our commitment to you and to our place on earth." Cool right? Wrong.
Further along the label reads: Product of China. -Made in a plant that processes peanuts, tree nuts, soy wheat (gluten) and milk products. Oh boy.
Wtf? Not made from New England pumpkins. This is complete crap. Green organics flown in from a country that has the worst industrial regulations, non existent human rights laws. The lesson here is read those labels closely while you're in the stores. Buy local pumpkins and make your own seed concoctions.
