Doesn't it seem that everything on the grocery store shelves these days is "healthy" on one way or another based upon the claims the packaging makes? I've always wondered about that 100% juice myself. The FDA is stepping up and putting limits on front of packaging...

FDA is finally concerned about BPA!
It took long enough. FDA has finally come forward to say you should take pre-caution with BPA. Did you know that Japan phased out BPA over 10 years ago? Why can't we do that here? FDA Says Bisphenol A (BPA) Exposure Is of 'Some Concern' for Infants and Children
Is your child ingesting Ammonia?
I read an article this morning over at Natural News regarding ammonia in hamburger meat. It seems as though one of the wonderful beef companies is taking the leftover cow meat, usually intended to be used for dog food, injecting it with ammonia and selling it to fast...
Aspirin is more deadly than Swine Flu!
It's no secret that I'm against getting the H1N1 vax. I found this article very interesting and wanted to share. My favorite part of the article: That's why I've always stated a simple truth that still holds true today: People who seek out vaccine shots are the same...

I love my reusable bags. I use them often. I love stores that give a little incentive to customers that reuse bags, like Giant. Target is now jumping on board! Yay! (I love Target!) The program begins on November 1st for all stores. For each bag you bring in and use,...
Is Gardasil Worth It?
Believe it or not, I'm really not anti-vax. I'm actually "pro-inform yourself". The more I inform myself, the less I feel that vaccines are the best thing to put into our children. I've never really been on the "must get the Gardasil" train and after reading this...
Think before you get that FLU shot!
In the past several years, no one in my family has gotten a flu shot. This year will be no different. In fact, if anything, I am even more against the shots, especially the swine flu shot. Please, before you allow yourself or your kids to get the shot, do some...
Oh Sigg, you have let me down!
I am deeply saddened. I love my Sigg bottle. I use it constantly. Each of family members own a Sigg (except for the little one that lost hers). When the dangers of BPA hit the airwaves, Sigg and Kleen Kanteen were touted to be the best, safest water bottles. I...
