Dominique Germann: Story left out Diestel’s invitation to inspect the farm

Re “Activists say Whole Foods farm is a front” (Page 7A, Nov. 25): The article left out a significant component of Heidi Diestel’s quote. “Of those who wish to inspect the Diestel ranch, she said: ‘That door is always open.’” It is understandable that though newspaper space is limited, it is also important to note a quote by Michael Silverman, spokesman for Whole Foods: “It is important to understand the mission of animal activist groups like this one isn’t farm animal welfare but rather a total end to animal agriculture and meat consumption. Everything they say, do and show is produced with that specific goal in mind.”
