Next time you go shopping…

Have you noticed any really fat babies in the mall lately? I have. Infact since 1980 obesity in infants under 6 months had risen 73 percent according to a study released by the Harvard School of Public Health.
Furthermore, Japanese scientists have discovered that bisphenol A (the building block of hard, polycarbonate plastic, including [...]

What’s that triangle mean on the bottom of my plastic milk bottle?

If you’re like me, I’ll buy organic milk over the conventional stuff any day of the week. Even if it’s in a plastic bottle. Should I be buying cow’s milk in the first place? That’s a subject for another blog.

Visit the bulk food bins.

Most of my dishes center around a grain (basmati rice, quinoa or couscous), that I buy in bulk. Then, I make a recipe around it. Buying in bulk is nothing new to me. Besides, there is much less packaging to throw away. According to ShifYourHabit.com, If everyone in the U.S. bought [...]

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 [...]
