Shopper's Guide to Healthier Choices

Hey Folks!
I thought I'd post some brief but imperative links, one of which is a list of what foods consumers ought to make sure they buy organic (or risk ingesting some seriously sketchy residues).
It's the work of Environmental Working Group. They independently research everything from food to sunscreen and are an authority on which is best for us and the environment. They provide detailed info on which items that are healthiest to: put in your mouth, put on your body or use to clean your house.

It's a link everyone should  have at their fingertips so I'm sharing it with you...so get your fingertips warmed for this hot tidbit...and consider printing the handy little PDF and give it to your favourite people.

Be well!

Hello? Happy New Year...

Hello?  Are you there?  I want to hear from you!

I know I haven't posted for a while.  I want to reinvent my blog and am now in the planning stage. I may just turn it into a full website. I have 20 sensational members (and many lurkers) and I want to hear from you!

Would you take a moment and tell me what you'd like to see on my blog?
(ie: more recipes, more/less rants, more links, more quotes, full articles, more pages...anything that comes to mind)

I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

Pesticides - enough already!

I am troubled by the latest news about pesticides in our berries. Just as I have been troubled by the use of some of the most harmful pesticides- those that are systemic and able to grow within the plant and be present in the very nectar of the flowers produced. This is where honeybees are most affected and is the main reason why we've seen such catastrophic die-off of our honeybee poplulations in North America.  All because of unnecesary and improperly regulated use of pesticides - and those of the most insidious kind.

I've recently discovered the website PAN (Pesticide Action Network) and I think they are doing good work in raising awareness about these issues and also taking a stand.
Thank you to all those who are taking action, including you and me, by choosing not to buy foods that are not grown with integrity.  We can make a difference by each and every food we buy.  Money talks.
Let's speak our truths with our dollars...one by one...
