Announcement: New Hemp Nutrition Bar Supports Advocacy
12/19/03
DRCNet readers may be interested
in knowing that Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, a company which has been the
driving force behind the legal challenge to DEA's attempt to ban hemp foods,
is now offering "Gertrude & Bronner's Magic Alpsnack," a certified
organic nutrition bar made with organic hemp nuts, almonds and fruits.
Alpsnack is a partnership with Gertrude Spindler, whose mother made nut
and fruit bars similar to Alpsnack in the Swiss village of Cham during
the difficult post-WWII famine years.
ALL PROFITS FROM ALPSNACK
ARE DESIGNATED TO SUPPORT ADVOCACY FOR INDUSTRIAL HEMP. The Bronner
family is a major supporter of Vote Hemp and the Hemp Industries Association's
legal, media, grassroots and lobbying efforts to re-commercialize industrial
hemp, and company president David Bronner is an active key board member
of both organizations. Alpsnack will soon be available on store shelves
around the country, but in the meantime you can visit http://www.alpsnack.com
to order Alpsnack online, for further information, and for a scenic view
of Cham. A box of twelve Alpsnack bars would make a delicious holiday
treat for family and friends!
Hemp nut is the shelled seed
from industrial hemp (non-psychoactive cannabis grown for fiber and seed)
and is an ancient food source that supplies high amounts of omega-3 fatty
acid and easily digestible, well-balanced protein. Alpsnack contains
over 500 mg of omega-3, and is dairy, gluten and wheat free. Alpsnack
also complies with the TestPledge standards adopted by many North American
companies using hemp seed in food products to assure consumers that eating
hemp foods will not interfere with workplace drug-testing.
In other news from Dr. Bronner's,
their famous natural soap line, which comes in bar form and in 8 and 32
oz. bottles, is now made with organic oils. Certified by Oregon Tilth
under USDA organic standards, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps are now made with
organic coconut, olive, hemp and jojoba oils, and most are scented with
organic essential oils. Dr. Bronner's products contain no synthetics,
no petrochemicals and no floral water fluff; and all cylinder bottles are
now made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR), a marketplace
first pioneered by Dr. Bronner's. The bar soaps are wrapped in Living
Tree Paper's Vanguard Recycled Plus 10% HempFlax / 90% PCR paper.
