On my path to educating myself and going organic, I have came across this great website for anyone who cares about themselves.
Environmental Working Group is a non-profit organization, check out their "About" page. The Home page has many links that will spark your interest about the food we eat to the products we use daily.
Happy Health.

The following is an interesting exercise to see which presidential candidate best fits your belief.
You answer a few questions then click the "find your candidate button" and the program selects the candidate who's position on the issues is most like your own...
You may be surprised at what you find... I was.

Life's Luxuries- Number 1
Life Luxuries Number 1.....
Dual Shower Head. If you shower with a partner frequently this is a must have. I have had one since we purchased our home 5 years ago. The best part is that you both stay warm and have your own personal on/off switch. It really is quite wonderful.
Check out this one from SkyMall.

rBGH-Free Milk
I am alarmed at the high rate of cancer in our area, especially breast cancer. My mother is a breast cancer survivor and I try to live a life without any added hormones to my diet as well as my young children.
I have been researching all the information regarding the synthetic hormone rBGH, aka Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, that farmers inject their cattle with so as to produce more milk.
What really got me interested was that Canada, Europe, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, and more have banned this hormone and have banned American milk products in their countries.
I spoke with a representative of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture who assured me these hormones are safe. They have been in use for only ten years.
After much reading I have decided that Organic milk is the way to go. I have been purchasing Wegmans Organic Milk which clearly states "No rBGH Hormones."

Corn Stove
Well shortly we are going to be facing the time where we need to turn on our furnaces.
The best part of my furnace is that it's actually a corn/pellet stove and heats up to 3,800 square feet. Quite possibly the best investment next to my house. We bought our Quadra-Fire Mt. Vernon stove in the early spring of 2005 from Scott's Heating and Cooling in Wattsburg and have reaped the benefits of burning corn and pellets.
Our whole quality of life has improved just for the fact that I can have all rooms open at my home and have everyone very comfortabe without having to wear extra clothing in the comforts of my own home. I recommed everyone to look into corn and/or pellet stoves for their home.
Our winter is already paid for and the best thing is that at my house in the cold winter months ahead I can count on my house to be an average warm 76 degrees.
