Lupe's work is difficult .There is something very noble  in her hard work,and personal sacrifice of living apart from her family to send money home to them so they can have a better life. We are in Guatemala now,where Lupe Gonzalo is from, and see everyday the hard work and difficult existence of the agricultural workers here. For the thousands of immigrant farmers working in difficult situations in the US,there are tens of thousands working hard for maybe $10-15.00 a day here in Guatemala.Their living conditions are very poor- no electricity, earth floors and metal shacks in the rural areas.  John Eby  Great piece,Danny.

I see it as a failure to work with an organization that is important in the fight for food justice. Also, we need governing bodies, you can't expect a company to always follow the rules.
