GMO alert: top 10 genetically modified foods to avoid eating

By KAT | Published: May 2, 2012

The question of whether or not genetically modified foods (GMO’s) are safe for human consumption is an ongoing debate that does not seem to see any resolution except in the arena of public opinion. Due to lack of labeling, Americans are still left at a loss as to whether or not what is on the table is genetically modified. This lack of information makes the avoiding and tracking of GM foods an exercise in futility. Below are just some of the food products popularly identified to be genetically modified:

KASHI Brand Pulled Off Green Grocers Shelf, Here Is Why

By KAT | Published: April 27, 2012

The San Diego-based cereal maker Kashi is a topic of discussion among consumers this week after a blogger on the Green It All website pointed out that some of its products contain genetically-modified ingredients.
That information isn’t news to people in the natural-foods industry, but it’s just now making the rounds of social media, inspiring 171 comments on Kashi’s Facebook page this week. Earlier this year, most of the company’s products were pulled off at least one grocery store’s shelves. And for the past two years, San Diego-based natural grocer Jimbo’s hasn’t accepted new Kashi products because of concerns about GMOs, or genetically modified organisms.

Whole Foods Organic, Maybe Not!

By KAT | Published: April 27, 2012

I was sent this video this morning. If you shop at Whole Foods you may be disturbed by this video. It’s probably not just Whole Foods that this is going on at but since Whole Foods whole company is based on organic food this is in my opinion ridiculous.

How To Make Your Own Household Cleaners

By KAT | Published: April 25, 2012

If you read my last post you would see just how dangerous some of the store bought household cleaners are. I have been seeing a lot of different recipes online and in magazines for household cleaners from laundry detergent to glass cleaner. We know it is much more economical to make your own but we also want cleaners that work. I have compiled some that have good reviews and are easy to make. There are a few staples that you should keep around to continue making them that are also very inexpensive like baking soda, white distilled vinegar, tea tree oil, grapefruit seed extract (I recommend a high quality tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract to avoid added chemicals) Borax and Super Washing Soda. You can pretty much make any of the cleaners with these items.

If you have your own recipe that you use and love and want to share it, just comment and I will put it up.

The first one I have been using for years and has always worked.
