Help needed by Feb 24
REMOVAL OF HEART HEALTH CLAIM FOR SOY PRODUCTS
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Dear Members,
As you may know, the Weston A. Price Foundation has submitted a petition to the FDA for the removal of the heart health claim from products containing soy protein. We are now going to court to force a hearing on this subject. In order to give WAPF standing in the case, we need several members to submit one of the two declarations below. You would need to fill in the declaration and have it notarized before returning to us.
If you qualify to submit either of these declarations, please contact us immediately and we will send you the declaration to fill out and have notarized. Please reply to info@westonaprice.org with Soy Petition in the subject line. The deadline to get these in is Wednesday, February 24.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Sally Fallon Morell, President
and WAPF Staff
