If we stop consuming, I think that will change, and the ball will come back into our court.Michelle Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675115550511773648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-62146643962973503022008-05-06T09:57:00.000-07:002008-05-06T09:57:00.000-07:00I often say quite loudly that we have an absolute ...I often say quite loudly that we have an absolute right, and need to make it a legal right, to know what is in our food. Nothing should be hidden and certainly not because some "study" has shown it to be safe.<BR/><BR/>As you and I have said many times, Michelle, the companies are doing this as a defensive tactic against the increasing educated choices of consumers. They know that if the true ingredients are shown on the label, more and more people will choose to buy products from a better source.<BR/><BR/>Just like we need to beware of the al encompassing "fragrance" label on health and beauty aids, we now need to stay away from food that has something like "flavoring" on the label.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-86597629615885912702008-04-13T15:30:00.000-07:002008-04-13T15:30:00.000-07:00Ill check into this further, I have some printed m...Ill check into this further, I have some printed material to check out too.

After reading that one book on organic gardening - The New Organic Grower (see the end of the post on "Fatal Harvest" from Feb. 15, 2008) <BR/><BR/>http://bewellwithmichelle.blogspot.com/2008/02/friday-food-pharmacy-fatal-harvest-and.html<BR/><BR/>- I think I can actually grow enough for my family for the year. <BR/><BR/>The author says you can grow enough veggies on one acre to feed 40 people for a year. I only need to feed two....should be doable in a greenhouse. <BR/><BR/>As far as the herbs and noise pollution, I don't know anything about that one. The only thing that strikes me is that a lot of noise can cause anxiety and therefore stress, so any herbs that help relieve anxiety might help.<BR/><BR/>I'd be interested in knowing what herbs your coworkers were recommending!Michelle Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675115550511773648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31869805.post-40933021924075321462008-04-12T20:32:00.000-07:002008-04-12T20:32:00.000-07:00A very enlightening post M, the problem is worse t...A very enlightening post M, the problem is worse than I actually realised. Makes you want to make or grow everything 'from scratch' so to speak, whenever that's possible. Thanks for the update on this important topic.<BR/><BR/>PS: I had a spirited discussion re: noise pollution with my co-workers at my part-time job today. Apparently, there are specific herbs that are useful in treating this particular type of stress, which is often overlooked. Any comments on this?Geraldine https://www.blogger.com/profile/07410019941984295767noreply@blogger.com
