Yearning

NRDC has typed up a handy check-list with all the products to look for. All they need from you is 15 minutes of your time and an email to greenpaws@nrdc.org with the information you gathered. (this is a picture of my sweet dog Sophie by the way) Here is the list: Adams Flea & Tick Collar For Dogs (Large and Small) Adams Flea and Tick Collar for Cats and Kittens Adams Plus Flea & Tick Collar For Dogs (Large and Small) Bansect Flea & Tick Collar for Cats Bansect Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs Bio Spot Flea & Tick Collar For Dogs (Puppies, Small, and Large) BioSpot Flea and Tick Collar for Cats and Kittens Scratchex Color Full Formula 5 Flea & Tick Collar For Dogs Sentry Dual Action Flea & Tick Collar for Dogs Sentry PurrScriptions Dual Action Fle...
opened my mouth again (actually ran my fingers on the keyboard)
Well have you ever "over-commented" back on a string on Facebook? You feel sheepish afterwards but just had to say it..... Just did it. Thought about deleting.....rewording....oops too late. Its not that I don't believe in what I said, its just that I shot a cannonball against a fly. I won't divulge the chain leading up to it, and here is my post......like I said, I believe what I say but I should have saved it for elsewhere. Like here. Never claimed to be smart. Comment re: the racism comments: Wouldn't it be better if we sought common ground? Jeff at least admitted that their might be some racism leaking out.....a rarity... and there is often no admission or recognition of the racism that has the face of a patronizing attitude.

The Household Product Labeling Act has been introduced in the Senate
And it is about time! HR 3057 , the House companion bill, was introduced by Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY). Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) has introduced The Household Product Labeling Ac t (S. 1697). This Act would require household cleaning products to carry labels that list all of their ingredients. “Moms and dads have a right to know whether harmful chemicals are present in their kitchen cupboards,” Franken says. The way it is now, products are required to list immediately hazardous ingredients, but there is no labeling requirement for ingredients that may cause harm over time. The bill would make information readily available to consumers.
Nuts!
Nuts in 2003 received the FDA’s first qualified health claim for a food: “Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” The FDA announcement was in response to a petition from the International Tree Nut Council’s (INC) Nutrition Research & Education Foundation.
