They knew if they created this photo op, that the media outlets would pick it up and run it, despite the flawed connection. If neither Chez Panisse nor Alice, nor anything she's associated with utilizes "toxic compost," it seems quite a stretch to picket Chez Panisse. I think a letter informing her of the issue and asking for her support would have been more appropriate. Shame on any media that does not point this out.

'Round these parts, the OAC stands for the Oakland Airport Connector; and I don't think most people take quite as kindly to the Airport Connector as they do to organic produce.
