Good Guide

Very cool site that lets you research ingredients in commonly used products and find safe, healthy, green products.

• "What chemicals are in your baby shampoo?
• Was sweatshop labor used to make your t-shirt?
• What products are the best, and what products should you avoid?

Increasingly, you want to know about the impacts of the products you buy. On your health. On the environment. On society. But unless you’ve got a Ph.D, it is almost impossible to find out the impacts of the products you buy. Until now…

GoodGuide provides the world's largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of the products in your home."

Quickie: Food Safety

Tell the FDA it's past time for reform. From MomsRising:

For the second time in as many years, peanut butter contaminated with deadly salmonella has been recalled. Even my pre-kindergartener can tell something is wrong--her favorite peanut butter sandwiches have been pulled from her lunch box.

This latest outbreak, tracked back to the now-bankrupt Peanut Corporation of America, has caused nearly 655 illnesses, and contributed to nine deaths.

Parents have suffered through two massive recalls of tainted peanut products in the past two years. That's two recalls too many. We shouldn't have to worry whether what's in our fridge is a healthy snack or dangerous to our children.

Act now to demand food safety reforms. All peanut companies-and all food processors in this country --must use top-notch safety practices to protect our families from food bourne health risks.

Send a letter to the FDA urging them to take action to keep our kids safe when eating sandwiches.

I think the FDA should be split into two separate agencies: one oversees drugs/devices and the other food. What do you think?
