You can save the guars, or you can hit "n".

"How can I help?", you might ask (as well you should).
You can join with me and boycott all products containing GUAR GUM.

In the time it takes you to read this, 200-500 innocent guars will be brutally
slaughtered by heartless guar hunters.  Their gums will be removed (in an
unspeakably crude fashion, sometimes before the guar has even stopped moving)
and sold to multinational food processing corporations so that Yuppie ice
cream may have a smoother texture.

Check the labels of your favorite dairy products.  If GUAR GUM is listed as
an ingredient, demand to know why!  Last week I was about to buy some "Sid &
Johnny's" Ultra-Prestigious Ice Cream but decided to check the label first.
Lo and behold - one of the ingredients was GUAR GUM.  Needless to say, I put
S & J right back in the freezer, and dashed off a scathing letter of protest
to the manufacturer.

Won't you help?
