Greed makes the world go round. It is sad.

My daughter is an environmental science engineer (MS), you would be sick if you knew what was out there. I know enough to make me not want to eat.

My big concerns are that drugs and nutraceuticals are being made in third world countries, with no environmental controls on even water quality.

It is sad when we, as grandparents to be, are searching for glass baby bottles, because we have poisoned many infants with bisphenols in plastics. (Yes, daughter in law is breast feeding but you still need some bottles.)

Our current administration has opposed the COOL, Country of Origin Labeling laws.

I don't know what to tell urban dwellers, other than use natural food stores. (Hard I know, given we have entered a 'recession', and I use that term loosely.)

I have tons of beta carotene in my basement....in the form of squash. I can't eat it all. I will convince my husband to raise chickens this spring. I am fed up with the FDA, the CDC and the Federal Reserve.

I wish I felt like eating something more healthy than peanut butter bells right now.
Hi Cyclelops:
I am now more thrilled than ever to have 5 batches of various kinds of sprouts growing in my kitchen.

tonight, I added them to my veggie patties and Alan was in sprout heaven. I put them in my salads every day. They are organic seeds, and the sprouts are grown right in my kitchen. Feels marvelous to be able to eat what I have actually grown.

I'm heading more and more to becoming a vegetarian. I've eaten my last chicken. Tonight I made chipotle tofu and let me tell you. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

And after reading that the FDA wants to be in control of our vitamins and supplements (while still allowing Tobacco to be grown), well, I'm just happy that today I bought another bottle of my Methyl B-12 from iherb.com.

Take care,
Melody
