Press/Media Policy:
With the rise of online publishing far too many organizations were soliciting free product for what amounted to limited exposure. While looking at the online publishing we also reviewed our policies on the other forms of media (Radio, Print, TV...) and decided that if any of the reviews were to be independent of undue influence then all publishers should be held to the same high standards.

We feel that all reviews should be independent, requests for free samples rather than a purchased product minimize the worth of the product and also create an impression of impropriety. As a result we do not offer free product for review, if the review is to have integrity, the product should be purchased through regular channels.

Our policy is based on: The Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics, section 4 "Act Independently"

Donations for Weddings and Events:
A few years ago some authors and a few talk show types starting promoting a the concept that if phrased correctly: members of the public could get merchants to donate/give free product in exchange for mention in the party/wedding/event documents. With shipping costs and using only first quality ingredients: this is not cost effective marketing method for us. Please don't be disappointed when we turn down your requests, would you ask someone to send you a wedding present you didn't know?

Charity Donations:
Due to the overwhelming number of request for donations: we no longer select groups or organizations to donate to from solicitations. There are just too many requests for us to keep up with.
