Media Headlines Don’t Have the Power to Shut Down Fukushima Radiation
‘Everything is fine with the radiation!’. This morning’s headlines seem strangely dominated by a theme. Words like “normal”, “no risk”, “not harmful”, “reduced”, “continue to fall”. However, upon closer examination I noticed that many of these stories report one sample only and and in the same breath discuss how no further testing is needed since [...]
Naked Juice: May Have Something to Hide
“The Naked Truth”, “Like Nature Intended” and “Nothing to Hide” are on the Naked Juice Company (under Pepsico) home page. Ingredients for their juices comes from Japan. This is something that people who pay a high price for their juice may want to know. I wrote them personally a couple of days ago because my [...]
Radioactive Milk Coming to a Grocer Near You…
Radioactive Milk & Leafy Greens: I’ve grown weary of the lack of mainstream media coverage in the US regarding the toxic waste in our air, water (rain) and food supply (most notably milk and leafy green produce). It has been explained away by checkered graphs (via Facebook sharing), and the comparisons for exposure in layman’s [...]

During the summer and fall months especially, women flock to the nail salons to keep one’s feet from being unsightly unless you are gifted at the self mani & pedi. But when you’re pregnant, should you be wary of the polish that you are putting on your hands and feet? Apparently, the answer is yes. [...]
Anyone Else Afraid of ABC’s Bachelor Pad?
Love can be found in the strangest of places, although it is not often found (long term in any event) on ABC’s Bachelor or Bachelorette. I admit to being cynical of this new show, which seems to be a great time filling, cheap ratings seeker- but I can hardly pretend that love cannot be found [...]
Support and Personal Reference for “Lift” by Kelly Corrigan
This book was given to me for Mother’s day by one of my oldest friends, who is not a mother herself, but was thoughtful enough to send the book to me. I have been a Kindle- only reader for over a year now but I enjoyed the lightweight, quick, inspiring read that Lift is. The [...]
