Is buying from a network marketer making a statement?

A dear friend of mine just finished reading the witty New York Times best seller, The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan.

"Now is the time," she anounced. "I've been looking at empty detergent bottles for months, and this book pushed me over the edge. I'm buying it from a network marketing company that markets non-toxic environmentally friendly laundry detergent instead of Whole Foods."

Instead of Whole Foods?

She is not a network marketer, but she believes in New School Network Marketing. (That's a PDF link you can download by clicking on the link.)

She knows I've set up Network Marketing Central and said she's going there today to find someone to order from...(No cost to find people to buy from.)

She's a nutritionist, who lives and advocates organic and buying from local farmers. She read me the passage in Pollan's book that made her act:

Beyond-organic farmer Joel Salatin, in Swoope, VA, "sees his farming as his ministry. Hearing him would make even a fast food junkie believe that buying one of his chickens qualifies as an act of social, environmental, nutritional and political redemption." p. 241.

It's about responsible eating and responsible consuming.

She teaches it. And she's now added network marketers as a place she'll buy from for whatever they offer that she wants. Because, she says, "Network marketing products are usually nutritionally advanced, environmentally safe, and non-toxic."

Do you believe in the quality of the products of network marketing companies?
If so, are you a responsible network marketer? Do you make a statement and buy from other network marketers instead of WalMart or GNC or even Whole Foods?

Network Marketing is at a point in its history where it needs all the help it can get. The image, the regulations, the bad press...who will support us if we don't support each other?

Imagine 14.1 million network marketers - buying from each other.

Wouldn't that be a pleasurable way to change our world?
