D0 you sometimes feel that deodorant and corn are killing you? With much more time to think about these things this past year, I’m realizing how much I miss the days when I was deciding between tutti-frutti Teen Spirit or Degree antiperspirants or eating a possibly non-organic ear of corn at the fair without a care in the world. Now I struggle with natural (almost ineffective) alternatives to antiperspirant and pay $6.50 for 6 organic corn tortillas. It takes me a bit longer to choose a body lotion and sometimes I am out of products for a while because I want to try something new but I’m not in a place where I want to spend the time on my own new research study! Sun tan lotion buying anxiety can be enough to warrant a Xanex. Great.
It’s up to me to figure it out. It can be a full-time job!
I heard a story on BBC the other night where there were cases of rat meat being sold as mutton in China! The report even mentioned that many Chinese families order things like baby formula from Germany to ensure better regulations and safety. Home test kits are available for purchase in China to test for purity or safety of food. China even imports RICE from Germany. Fascinating!
I’ve got to stop panicking every time I swipe that antiperspirant under my dress on date night. I keep focusing on all the $50 organic tortillas I’m eating, my $2 organic apple and the Non GMO almond milk I’m drinking with my (naturally) gluten-free oats. That’s what keeps me going. What also helps me is eating dinner at friends’ houses to learn about different foods, talking to my healthy living mavens and sharing my favorite products with everyone I know!
What are your non-negotiable organic or health items? How do you deal with all of the information?
