Yikes! Lipstick is pretty much the only makeup I wear these days and I heard some brands have an excessive amount of lead in them. I guess this is mostly a problem for pregnant/nursing women but in theory taking this much lead on board is not great for anyone. This website gives more info and lets you know what ingredients aren't safe in cosmetics: www.safecosmetics.org/

Can you believe this. It just makes me want to be back in the time when you did every thing for yourself and you knew what went in it. Of course I'm too spoiled, but geez it seems like every thing has something in it that is bad for us.

A big AMEN to that Saffy....I was thinking the same thing this morning when I came across huge empty spaces on the grocery store shelves this morning...seems there's salmonella in some canned soups & stews, and they've been recalled. Scary, huh? Makes a great case for ditching all processed foods and making everything yourself.

Wow, really, what soups and stews? I had no idea,,, but thats not a surprise I dont watch Tv, havent had it on for days.... It is scary and does confirm that thought of making my own food is the best.... I recently started growing my garden again,,, I wish I could grow all the food I eat! I cant grow all of it but I know when there was a spinach problem with ecoli or whatever it was in the fresh spinach I was glad that I grew mine!

Star, Here's a link to the list of canned chili products which have been recalled by the FDA: www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/castleberry.htmlWhat's really scary is that the above webpage was updated in September, and I didn't see any cans being pulled off shelves until yesterday.... Well, we shouldn't be eating out of cans anyway.....Reiki all of your food, ladies and gentlemen!
