As Long as They Make $

http://www.enviroblog.org/2008/04/cheatsheet-bisphenol-a-bpa.htm This article is about BPA in plastics, it mentions children and pregnant women... I'm so TIRED of finding out about more CRAP, (ok I have been trying to get out of the habit of that word since my kids repeat everthing, but they can't read this), that "they" big companies put in food, plastic, lotions, everything just so they can make more MONEY. They are other alternatives and maybe if everyone quit putting crap in stuff they would have to compete for business and have affordable prices. It's no wonder more kids are autistic and what not, so much contamination everywhere. It's hard to find a balance when you're an anal all or nothing person. Should I be guilt-ridden for having frozen pizza every weak or buying hotdogs...would it have been better if I just didn't know?? I could go along ignorantly and eat my chips and hotdogs in peace, not worry about chemicals on my apple peels. Now they say this BPA lines cans, so that tomatoe sauce I thought was so healthy isn't so great after all? Baby bottles, baby formula cans, sippys...All I can do is slap myself in the face, remember the Lord Almighty still controls everything and try to do my best and be temperate. Eating healthy and CHEAP is hard. It is too bad we can't just know that if we can buy something, it's safe, but that's not the world we live in, we live in the world where the bottomline is more important than treating others as we would want ourselves or families treated. I shall now step off my soapbox and wish you all a happy rest of the week. :)
ps Lindsay, http://www.iherb.com/ has Aubrey Organics Vegecol for dry sensitive skin. I have the moisturizer, it's light enough I used it this winter but the vegecol rates good on the database. In a past post I have a 5 dollar discount code if you end up going that direction.
