  • i guess we have no way to know how the coconuts might be preserved for their journey… and i would definitely choose organic ones when possible… but we also don’t know how the original rumor got started, and we have no definitive proof that it IS true, so…

    naturally, people will use their discretion. as for not eating food that travels a long distance… what about goji berries, maca, cacao, etc? maybe you just mean produce items? where do you live? if not california, many of your produce items probably travel a good distance to get to you (although, probably not 9000 miles.)

    anyway, i feel they are safe again, and will continue to et them as long as my husband will continue to open them!
