This has got sod all to do with astrology, but personally I think the
idea of using chemicals in the packaging which work by radiation in
order to transport food over greater distances just STINKS !
What about recycling or disposing of this chemically treated cardboard
afterwards?  What about the pollution and waste of energy in moving
the food over long distances? It is far preferable to buy food which
has been produced as near to your home as possible, and eat it
NATURALLY fresh.  Food-Miles are a global problem.
I'm going to email this company about their spam.
