Dear all
I'm heading this petition in an attempt to bring Silk Almond Milk (
http://silk.com/products) to all states of Australia. My son (who is now 5) was born with a dairy allergy and had his first anaphylactic episode at 7 months of age. When living in LA for a year, we fell in love with the Almond milk there made by Silk. We love this brand because its tastes sooo good and it's one of the few brands that contain NO Carageenan. In fact, US has a huge range of dairy free foods, we were so happy we could eat dairy free cheese pizzas on a regular basis! I wish Australia had the same range of dairy free foods. But I will be overjoyed if I could get just the Silk Almond Milk here.
Why Silk Almond Milk? Because it doesnt contain Soy or Carageenan. I've read about the long term detrimental effects of soy milk some of which include:
- Endocrine disruption;
- digestive problems;
- adverse effects on thyroid, fertility, hormones, sex drive, digestion; and
- even its potential to contribute to certain cancers.
and have also read about the negatives of Carageenan, some of which are:
- destruction to the digestive system; and
- gastrointestinal disease in lab animals, including ulcerative colitis, intestinal lesions, and colon cancer.
If you tasted the Almond milk by Silk I assure you, you will love it too. Not only does it taste good (all flavors including original, vanilla and chocolate), but it contains 50% more calcium than that of cow's milk, which my son is lacking as a result of his dairy allergy. At the moment he relies on drinking soy milk a few times a week and calcium supplements. It's not so exciting as drinking the Silk Almond milk believe me.
Please sign my petition and lets hope Silk Almond Milk range will arrive in Australia in the VERY near future so all of us can enjoy the taste and its benefits.
Best regards to all

Dear WhiteWave Foods
Please refer to my petition below, kindly requesting for your Silk Almond Milk range to be brought to Australia. I hope this petition is evidence there is a strong desire for this dairy free milk in Australia and hence will be worth your while in making it happen.
Yours sincerly
Angela
