Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 This offer applies to all of you that this message is going to, newbies [the raw raw foodists, you could say ;-)] and oldies alike. I will put my money where my mouth, beliefs, and values are on the importance of consuming organically. We all know that organic is more nutritious for us, besides being more ecologically sound. I am making an absolutely serious offer to anyone who feels they " don't have the money " to buy organic when available, versus conventional. My offer is that I will give you a rebate on purchasing the available organic " equivalent " food. Here's an example to illustrate how the offer works: Say you're going to buy avocados. You know organic avocados are for sale (whether " on sale " or not). You compare prices on organic versus conventional, conclude you " can't afford " the organic option, and decide to buy conventional avocados instead. Well, this offer is designed to prevent you from this last decision. If you buy the available organic option instead of the conventional, when you truly believe you " can't afford " to buy the organic, I will refund you the difference in price. Just bring your receipt to a potluck, tell me what the price was on the conventional alternative, and I'll pay you back so that in effect you only paid the price for conventional. In essence, you'll " get organic for the price of conventional. " We'll use the honor system on what that price was for the conventional, and on your unaffordability belief. This offer has multiple purposes. If you take me up on it, it will: 1. improve your health because organic is more nutritious, generally speaking. 2. promote more ecological organic farming methods. 3. increase the demand for organic options at food stores. 4. assist you to live by your values/standards. 5. prove to you that buying conventional when the organic alternative is available is completely unreasonable. 6. reinforce intelligent decision making, if in a spell of irrationality you decide not to exercise this offer but buy conventional, only to recover later from your spell and realize it would have been just as easy to get organic instead. 7. increase your self-esteem to have it demonstrated that you're cared about. 8. give to me as well, by allowing me to serve my community. 9. contribute to prosperity consciousness-- A. If you're honest with yourself, you will probably realize that you really CAN afford it. B. Honoring this offer will prove to me the abundance in my life. I'll bring a wad o' cash to every potluck I attend, or, I might be more comfortable using my checkbook sometimes. Meeting at potlucks is a convenient method for me if you exercise this contract. If that's not the most convenient place and time for _you_, call me at 206-706-1387 or e-mail me and we can work out other arrangements. Bring your receipts! BYE BYE EXCUSES! BYE BYE! :-) All you have to do is BUY organic! :-) Say, " BYE! " (to excuses), then BUY (the organic choice)--BYE/BUY. :-) Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.
