Oh that would make me so mad. I don't blame you for stopping that.

I think this could be really played up and marketed. There is such a potential scare factor that could be worked into it. How non organic can potentially harm children or pets or even the enviornment.
You could promote it as consumer and enviornment friendly.

This sounds like a great idea. I would like to see bounce your idea off him to see if you could get this off the ground. It might be the perfect avenue to get you more noticed.
