Cesar Chavez wants a boycott of California Table grapes because the pesticides that are sprayed on them are expected carcinogens, he said Friday.
KU CONCESSIONS & NESTLE FOOD COMPANY present
The pesticides are sprayed on the crops from airplanes and helicopters.
"The only thing you have to do is learn to say no to grapes," Chavez said to about 850 people in a speech at the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Many people who do not work on farms are also victims of the pesticides because the chemicals travel from the air for 10 to 20 miles, he said.
The pesticides are absorbed from the grape leaves into the skin of the farm workers. Chavez said cancer was growing at an alarming rate when it was growing at an alarming rate.
Chavez is the founder and president of the United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO. He has spent his life working to improve conditions for workers. The current Table grape boycott is the fourth that Chavez has led.
"The victims are very real, very young and very human," he said.
If the boycott is successful, it will force growers to stop using five harmful pesticides. Ultimately, Chavez would like grapes to be grown organically.
"Pesticides by nature are poison," said Dr. C. "There is no such thing as a pesticide."

If the public demanded pesticide-treated products, the situation could be chaotic.
If 7 percent of the consumers would not buy grapes, the goals of the boycott would be achieved, he said.
"In the vineyards, in the fields, we are no match for the growers," Chavez said. "We cannot win one small case in the daily courts. You say to we the American consumer, You make the wine you drink in, you are in fact the court of last resort."
"The growers themselves are now beginning to admit that they are hurting," he said.
Chavez said the boycott, which began in July 1984, would be successful.

grape workers is an injustice," Bush said.
"He is one of her heroes and mine," Sanche said. "I think it's great that he devotes his whole life just to this cause."
Brandi Fresh, St. Louis freshman, said Chavez's speech was very informative.
"All I know is that I'm not going to eat grapes anymore," Fresh said.

McDonald's opens small restaurant in DeSoto
But Chavez said pesticides were not the only problem for farm workers.
The boycott will give the workers leverage with the growers, he said.

The arches belong to a new McDonald's restaurant that opened Sept. 30 just off the DeSoto exit.
Some women spend entire days on their knees picking grapes, he said.
Chavez said that at least 80 percent of the women suffered from water on the farm.
He said that some workers were forced to come early, work through their lunches and stay late to meet their quotas for the day.

Diana Summers, assistant manager of the new restaurant, said most of the customers came from nearby towns such as DeSoto and Eudora.
Along Kansas Highway 10 between Lawrence and Olathe, a pair of big golden arches stands north of the highway just 20 minutes from KU.
Some KU students traveling from Kansas City have stopped by the store, she said.
"It's a test store to see how it does in small community," Summers said. "The town has been very supportive."

Summers said the restaurant would be beneficial for student commuters coming from the Kansas City area.

Commuters are people from different backgrounds and occupations and eating at McDonald's might not appealed to all of them, she said.
"It seats 49 people. It's smaller," she said.
Dobski said the restaurant was designed specifically for a small town.
She said that because it was new, she could not predict whether commuters would ston at the restaurant.
"Our motif is sports," Summers said. "That's why there's TV—so customers can come in and watch."

Elizabeth Nevers, vice president of the KU Commuters' Club, said about 1,000 KU students commuted from the Kansas City area.
The store is decorated with posters of KU's basketball team and has a television that shows an all-sports channel.
Nevers said that she already had seen the "now open" sign but that she had not stopped by the new McDonald's vet.
Nevertheless, the store offers a full-range menu, including pizza, she said.

"We can accommodate KU students for part-time jobs," she said.
Dobski said she is looking forward to hiring KU students.
This kind of store is only the fourth in the nation, Dobski said.
