EATRIGHT® Ginger *SEEd & Switchel* Cookies

A great tasting, nature inspired EATRIGHT® seed, not wheat, cookie with fibrinolytic ginger "zing" (fibrinolysis enzyme activators: curcumin, niacin), native raw bush honey (from bee processing of Kunzea ericoides, Nothofagus solandri var. solandri and fusca, endemic to the Nelson region of New Zealand), source of preformed vitamin K2 (MK-7) for “Bone health, Cardiovascular Health” (ref: EFSA ID 2879-80 pub. Apr11) and apple cider vinegar (a controlled ferment with 'Mother' wild-type, non-engineered bacteria, 'not from concentrate').

When we updated the ingredients [^^] we also included "switchel" [switchel is a vinegar drink, seasoned with ginger and sweetened with honey, of British America origin]. But, in this product, it is non diluted with 'short time' processing.

It has a solid food matrix for prophylactic digestibility (antiemetic [Gk emeo vomit] ("3"; KOM; PIP; WHO) ‘rare score of "3": clinical trials…plant itself’; with 14,396ppm from phytochemicals: 6-gingerol, camphor, gingerol and, “twice as pungent as gingerols”, shoGAOL (ref: Journal of Drug Development (vol. 6(1): 25-39; pub. 1993)), less gas and wind emissions [whistle v.i. & t.], less flatuence [L pedo break wind] on petomane scale (humans pass "400-2000ml of flatus daily" including CO2 and methane ref: British Society of Gastroenterology), regulation of energy and absorption of inherent bioactives ie essential mineral and vitamin nutrients in the product [NOT over-processed removal, then added back fortifiers or isolates].

[^^] Vitamin K1 (from cert. organic [sustainable] palm oil 24.7mcg/100g) changed to preformed vitamin K2 (from butter 1.96mg/100g). Where vitamin K considered “low in breast milk” (ref: CDC.org breastfeeding) with most, if not all, newborns given phytonadione or phytomenadione injections (“man-made” form of vitamin K isolated in 1939) to prevent haemorrhagic disease of the newborn (HDN or VKDB). Interestingly, phytonadione "requires a prescription" (ref: NCBI) with significant costs per 10mg/mL c/- EATRIGHT® costs per 100g. Where EATRIGHT® calculations from "tested, measured" hence claimable sources of vitamin K (incl. MK-4 to MK-13) [class 5 (FO379), class 29 (B0769)] and vitamin P (rutin) [class 5 (FO379)] sources DO matter. Prophylactic (n. medicine or measure [PRO⁻², PHYLACTERY] is a phylactery [Gk phulasso guard, L lac milk], chym-ist(ry), old spelling of chem- [Gk kheo pour] ref: OX Dict 4th ed).

[^^^] Some customers said it was "the best Ginger Cookie they have ever tasted" (ref: Aug04 edition of Healthy Options and baby photo). So what other possible "reasons" would non-lactating, non-breast feeders have in their dilution, tarnishing, blurring, bullying and dogmatic [Gk dokeo seem] attempted "takeover" of our EATRIGHT® brand and subsequent AMZN-WFM merger date of 16Jun17 c/- the 1Jun17 release date of "Multiple Vitamin K Forms Exist in Dairy Foods". Where relevance of "PRICE" (Whole Paycheck), "Weston" [George WESTON Foods supplier to “ERF” between 2011-13; Bert WESTON, WFMI "HPK" store "TL", SW region, TX 75219], "dental" (Class 5 under Ninth Schedule: "stopping teeth, dental wax"), “reason to toll the limitations period…based upon TTAB proceedings [storm, earthquake or other natural disaster, one or both of these defenses] and settlement discussions” (ref: Boston Dental Group, LLC v. Affordable Care, LLC 2:16-cv-01636 (opinion Judge Boulware II, pub. 29Mar18)) and WESTON Andrew Valleau PRICE (dentist, medical researcher) "Foundation" (WAPF) included a "Thumbs Down Book Review" (ref: link URL)

[^^^^] “EATRIGHT branded products were distributed through WFMI’s own distribution centers and throughout WFMI’s network of [29] stores in the Mid-Atlantic” (ref: 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 26 id4). The “Mid-Atlantic” region, at that time, included…

[^^^^^] The option of "through WFMI’s own distribution centers" was closed-off to Eat Right Foods Ltd post-Aug07-OATS acquisition. For instance, "Order Number:43424...really love your cookies [not a lot of options for us who have food allergies] but they stopped having them at my [Pittsburgh, PA] store", Order Number:44254 “Whole Foods Market in Albuquerque New Mexico, USA, but they recently stopped carrying them.

Also Order Number:63387 "I have asked there a zilion times if they could restock but apparently couldn't" (Arlington 22201, VA; Nov08 emphasis added). Where “prematurely transferred operational control” before obtaining clearance (ref: United States v. Flakeboard Am. Ltd. et al., 3:14-cv-4949 (N.D. Cal.
