Kid’s Healthwatch: Aspartame

I admit it, I was addicted. I wanted anything and everything with artificial sweetners. I remember the satisfaction I would get by drinking my first Diet Coke of the day…the first of six before bed.

Organic Grocery Scorecard 7/27/2008

My trip to the Farmer’s Market was a total dud. The only organic vendor there was selling t-shirts. She told me the market doesn’t sell organic food in the summer because it spoils faster. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The next closest market is about an hour away, so I guess I’ll [...]

Friday Market Guide — July 25th, 2008

Happy Friday Everyone!
The best tasting and most nutritious food is the food grown closest to your home. It supports local farmers, is cheaper, and helps the environment (less transportation pollution). I’ll be hitting the farmer’s market this weekend, and shopping for some seasonal goodies. To get a specific list of the food in-season in your [...]

Spending for organic food is worth it when it comes to our children. Their developing bodies are especially vulnerable to toxins found in our food and environment. Switching to organic food has an immediate effect on the body. Within 36 hours, pesticides may no longer be detected in a child’s urine. On my website Project [...]
