From what I understand a large portion of "organic" produce comes from China. I don't eat organic, because there's not proof it's any healthier.
I am anti-labor. My movie was non-union, so be sure to boycott that, too.

Did you import your crew from China?

No, but I paid them the same.
Making film without money is tough. Especially in a non-right-to-work-state. My next film will be made outside LA, for sure.
Your rhetoric is adorable.
'bf: non-right-to-work-state'
Your rhetoric is adorable.
It's tough trying to make a film where the unions exclude the little guy. Hell, they exclude art. The days of the unions being for the worker are a myth. They collude with Los Angeles city to make big money.
Even Leftist filmmakers find it unbearable, DFT. Stop politicizing every comment I make. Take German filmmaker Michael Haneke (Funny Games, 1997); not an anti-unionist and certainly not a right-winger. In this article in LA Weekly he passionately illuminates the difficulty of shooting in LA with the unions:
You'd understand if you ever spent a day in your life.

I'm also anti-labor, but not in the way you think...
Stop crying.
I don't hold grudges and look forward to welcoming the old fun blankfist with open arms when ever he decides to emerge - chest-burster-like - from your current emo carapace.
That stinks that the USDA allows their label without any real backing though.

"Calfornia Blend" is a very common type of mix, not a place of origin. It's like saying you can't have French Fries from China.

While I understand your meaning...that's a bad analogy because "french" is the way the fries are prepared...not the country of origin ;-).

argument fail
Simmer down, boiling water. So again. If the point was a vagina, et cetera.
This statement probably solicits nodding heads from the same folks who cry out that the US government shouldn't be in the business of regulating anything.
Also, dont buy from Wal-Mart. They represent 1/4 of China's export to the USA. Why give china US dollars?
It irks me how healthy food is treated as a status symbol and sold at a premium at places like Whole Foods and Wild Oats when there are so many dirt cheap alternatives off the brand-name radar.
It also seems to me that one can be against a particular stupid thing a union does, or even against a particular union whose management you find wrongheaded, without finding the need to defend all anti-union sentiment.
There's no reason for Whole Foods to underpay their workers, when they are ultimately a high-end, high-margin kind of shop. Seems a union could fix that kind of issue nicely.
It also seems that better government oversight (and QAI protecting their reputation better) would help to combat dishonest crooks from labeling non-organic food organic, and selling it to people who want to pay a premium for a certain type of product, but instead get a generic knockoff product.
BTW, "right to work" means the state forbids employers and unions from including exclusivity into their mutually agreed upon private contracts. In other words, "right to work" is a socialist mop.
You can always find a non-union job at Walmart or Whole Foods, for example.
Unions are silly in the film industry, but that's a long drawn-out conversation for another time. Later my Hitler-lovin' Socialists!

PS. I think it sucks that they don't seem to have better checks on their verification process, especially when dealing with stuff from china. When I worked at IKEA I found that they have a whole division of the company dedicated to worker protection in the various countries they have factories in. Being a Swedish company they would have to be really careful just because of how active the people are politically and human-rights wise in Sweden. Now you would figure Whole Foods would behave similarly knowing who their customers are.
