I'm amused to see Robert Eidus as the spokesperson for the
survivability of Ginseng. It will be gone in 10-20 years? That's
idiotic. <br>
<br>
I'm sure Mr. Eidus didn't mean what he was cast as saying on the
clip, but it's still incorrect information. <br>
<br>
<br>
I'm very disappointed to see UPS trumpeting this incorrect and
sensationalized clip. <br>
<br>
Yes, there are issues with ginseng harvest, and I'd be the first
to shout from the mountaintop that poaching is a real issue that
needs attention, and that more resources should go into plant
conservation. But putting incorrect information out to spur public
concern is disingenuous. <br>
