Mission Driven-Whale Tails Tortilla  Chips

You too can allow your snack chips to have a purpose. Whale Tails Tortilla Chips are snack foods with a mission and a purpose. These premium chips are invested in the purpose, to save the oceans. This is one of the only chip companies that are mission driven.

 The ocean is slowly being choked with pollutants of a man made variety. It is a fact that a staggering amount of waste enters the sea every year. This is something that has only been an issue for the past 60 years. Plastic bags, rings and man made pollutants now pollute our oceans. In addition to the pollutants added to the ocean on a daily basis, oceans are consistently over-fished leading to the possible depletion of all species by the year 2048. This would be a catastrophe for all those that rely on fish as a major source of protein.

Many people also rely on the oceans as a livelihood and find it to be their main source of income. This is the reason that oceans need to be completely protected.  Many people feel a need to do what they can to protect and save the seas.

Purchasing these chips is one of the ways you can enjoy a delicious snack that is designed to allow you to contribute toward saving the ocean in a most appetizing and health conscious way. Our chips are considered to be mission driven since much of the proceeds go to foundations entrusted with saving the ocean.

The best thing about our chips is that they are pure deliciousness with a purpose. Premium and healthy ingredients are used in our chips to make sure they are a delicious and nutritious fast food alternative. These chips allow you to take something as mundane as dips for chips and make it into a tasty alternative with a mission.

Those of us at Whale Tail Chips consider ourselves to be stewards of the sea, and devote a portion of our profits  toward ocean protection and conservation,contact us for ways to purchase these chips and contribute toward the well being of the seas.

Our Oceans Help Us Fight Cancer

Once again, our oceans are proving to be a very valuable ally in our war against human illness.  As we continue to search for ways to create vaccinations that help us fight off life-threatening illnesses, nature can be a source of medical breakthroughs.  In this case, the Giant Keyhold Limpet, which is a marine animal similar to an Abalone, is being grown in captivity so that its blood can be harvested.  The blood harvested contains KLH (Keyhole limpet hemocyanin) which is a lot like human hemoglobin.  This is the substance in our blood that helps move oxygen around our bodies in the most efficient manner possible.
Limpets are rather delicate creatures and getting them to grow in captivity is a challenge.  Stellar Biotechnologies has built an unusual medical facility that is located right on the ocean at Point Hueneme in Southern California.  By building the facility so close to the sea, they are able to pump the nutrient-dense ocean water into their facility and into the tanks where the limpets live.  The difference here is that the limpets are not removed from their natural environment and killed in order to harvest their blood, instead the researchers here have figured out a way to harvest the KLH without harming the animals in the process.
By growing them specifically for this purpose the numbers of limpets in the wild will not be affected.  Now they can be "harvested" numerous times a year and by growing them in these controlled circumstances, the chance of cross-contamination is also greatly reduced.
KLH is a very important part of today's vaccines.  It works by attaching to much smaller amounts of the inactive virus contained in the vaccine and then helping our immune system "see" the virus and thereby helping the body to build antibodies much more quickly.  In the past, a vaccine might actually harm the recipient because, even with an inactive virus, the toxin is still present.  By lowering the amount of inactive virus used in vaccine, the chances of developing illness are reduced.  There is great hope that a cancer vaccine may be able to be developed that will never have a chance to harm the person that receives it.
With cancer the antigens that are produced are mostly made up of your own tissue.  The body does not recognize these antigens as something to be eradicated because the body only "sees" itself.  If KLH could be attached to those cancer cells they can help the body recognize the disease and then respond by building antibodies.  As researchers continue searching for a cancer vaccine they need a lot of KLH, so this facility at Point Hueneme may actually be partly responsible for the development of that vaccine in the near future.
The more we learn about the diversity in our planets oceans the more opportunity we have to find ways in which it can help us lead better lives. Here at Whale Tail Tortilla Chips we are also in the business of helping people lead better, and healthier, lives.  Contact us to find out where you can find us in your neighborhood.

Eco Friendly Packaging

Why use eco friendly packaging? Just imagine how much plastic is in the ocean right now. It's esimated that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic per square mile. There is way too much plastic packaging making it's way to our beaches. It's also filling up the landfills at an alarming rate. Whale Tails is commited to finding a chip bag that will be completely
degradable.

Love Your Ocean

We love the ocean and the whales that live there. We have put a different seascapes of Wyland’s on each of our chip bags to remind our customers why we strive to be eco friendly. Nothing is more beautiful than whales in action. Through our whale tail design and beautiful packaging we encourage all of our customers to recycle.

Tasty and Eco Friendly

We want to show the world that you can have quality snacks and save the ocean at the same time. We love to surf and we want the ocean to be a fun experience for everyone. By developing a completely  degradable snack bag we will greatly reduce water pollution. Only 20% of snack bags are recycled. The rest finds their way to the ocean and to landfills.

Dedicated to Saving The Environment

Whale Tails is commited to saving the environment. In addition to using eco friendly packaging we are active in many environmental foundations such as The Wyland Foundation, IFAW, NRDC, WildCoast, Sea Shepherd, and many more. We believe that we can make a difference.
