One year! It’s been a good one!!!
I dunno who reads this, but thanks.
Not sure if Einstein really said that “the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest”, but whomever did say it is a genius.
I’ve decided to make loan payments instead of straightening my hair. This decision should make me feel good. But getting your hair done REALLY makes you feel good.. and paying monies but not receiving anything tangible in return feels like poop.
Whatever, here’s to my most recent loan payments!! (boooo..)
A reminder of what the term “organic” means, and what it does not. Reminds me of Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
In fact, current national standards allow dozens of pesticides, chemicals and other synthetic materials in organic food production.
To help enforce national regulations and uncover violations, the organic program depends on a network of certifiers, whose inspectors are paid by farmers and typically visit organic operations once a year, on a prearranged basis.
Critics like the Cornucopia Institute, an organic watchdog group, accuse large corporations of using the word “organic” to sell products that are not true to the original organic philosophy of promoting health, environmental stewardship and small, local farmers.
In fact, foods stamped with the USDA seal may contain up to 5 percent ingredients that are not organic.
Hm. May still contain chemicals, but better than (has fewer?) than more mainstream products? Not sure on this one.
