Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I very rarely write reviews, just don't have the time. But after trying this today for the first time, I was just plain DISGUSTED with the utter IGNORANCE and IRRESPONSIBILITY of some companies. In ULTRA FINE PRINT on the back of the package it states, "Do not eat the desiccant or absorber." WHO would think to look for a SILICA packet in a protein powder!!!!!????? OBVIOUSLY NOT all these people who gave it a ONE star review, who ALL had the same experience as I did the first time, but didn't realize it wasn't the powder they were crunching on!!!! Do you think they would have had someone from the company chime in and apologize and explain WHY some people felt there was SAND in the powder??? They went to great lengths to list how healthy their product is, GF, Vegan, Kosher, Organic, Made in the USA. Seriously???!!! I pulled the paper out of my shake and strained the rest through a tea strainer to see exactly what it was, I thought at first it was GLASS!! I guess the packet is so small, it is hidden when you use the enclosed scooper to scoop out the powder. I obviously wasn't the only one who has missed it!!!! Being a single mom of 3, I'm hanging by a thread trying desperately to give myself a little something each day to keep me going. Distraction is abundant in this house and I don't have time to babysit ANYONE else! I have been using a Hemp based protein powder for a long time and recently bought a vegan powder for my son, NEITHER of these had the audacity to put something like that in a food in which it could be EASILY missed. Shameful!
