What will be next?

Can’t we trust the Swiss anymore? I mean Swiss banks over US banks any day. But eco-chic water bottles? It seems like the SIGG controversy is still alive and well on social networks. I wonder if CEO Steve Wasik has an account on Twitter? Before you go down to the post [...]

What do Wal-Mart, Whole Foods and Target have in Common?

That’s true. They’re all retail stores.
In addition to that, They announced on Wednesday that they are “phasing out baby products that contain BPA“.
Also, on that day, the California Assembly was going to vote to ban BPA. It fell short of the needed votes.
The legislature [...]

Don’t forget the tortilla chips.

I knew it. I always wondered why my wife’s guacamole dip tasted so much better than what I found being served at most casual-attire parties that I used to frequent. (I’m surprised that I haven’t been invited to any recently). At first I attributed it to my wife’s superior insight on the [...]

What’s your toxic load?

“9 Hidden Toxins Lurking in Your Food” is a must-read article for anybody that is following the health care debate that is going on in this country. A good rule of thumb seems to be if it’s advertised, don’t eat it.
I wonder if anybody has done a study on toxins and health care costs?
Also, [...]

The Skinny on SIGG

If you own a bottle and are truly concerned about it affecting you or your family’s health, I’ve got some good news for you!

I read a good article written by our neighbors [...]

Remember When…

I recall how my mom would pack my brown-bag lunch for me when I was in elementary school. Somehow, by lunch time, any nectarine or peach that she had included in my smashed bag looked liked it had been used as a baseball. I was rough on clothes too.
Not so [...]

Chocolate Recipes

Most recipes that I see on the web call for a stainless steel bowl to be used for heating up or mixing ingredients. An example would be this recipe for Chocolate-Peanut Butter Terrine with Sugared Peanuts. Sounds pretty good, especially for all of you chocolate lovers out there. However, it seems like [...]

Water Bottles

If I owned a SIGG water bottle, I don’t think that I would throw it out or send it back. (By the way, that’s on your dime). Really, it seems as though BPA is everywhere. Do you have any cans in your pantry? Guess what. The lining inside the can [...]

Camping Trips

Wow, this article from the Pasadena Star News made me think of all of those plastic canteens that we used in the army on various “camping trips”. I wonder what else besides BPA leaked from those.
Question: I have recently been told that water bottles and other types of plastic containers release toxic [...]
