hi frank

here's the email i got from kpfa firing me from being a volunteer! the basic story is that i was a volunteer there one day last spring and took some food home from the station. both my roommate and i got food poisoning from the food i brought home and i emailed the owner of the restaurant where the food was from and asked him if he used any artifical ingredients , taste enhancers or any msg like substances in his food. i always know the reactions of my body from certain chemicals since i've been on a fasting/cleansing journey for several years now. my body never lies.. anyway, the restaurant owner had a real bullshit style of communicating and insisted that all his ingredients were of a 'pure, top quality, natural and organic source', though i knew this to be untrue. he was boldy lying and i called him on his insincerity , but told him i would NOT post any negative comments about his restaurant in a public forum such as yelp or other consumer blogs, because he was a small establishment, supporter of public radio, and the big chain restaurants get away with the same type of poisonous taste enhancers without bad publicity, though i was upset that his food made me sick, i still made that promise. anyway, shortly after, i got this email from kpfa.......

Hello Ava--

I find myself in the unfortunate position of having to tell you that you are no longer welcome to volunteer at KPFA. Your aggression towards an establishment that kindly donates food to
volunteers and staff during fund raising periods is/was uncalled for. Regardless of your personal feelings there is no place for this sort of behavior in an environment of mutual support.
