[Guest guest]

Judy,

 

In the future, please edit your email to the link(s) (and brief

description) you wish to forward to the list. To send the entire

Newsletter was not appropriate (we don't need to have links about Danza, Michael Jackson, and Renee Zellweger, unless it is related to

raw foods).

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff
