Cosmetics database is a definite cross-ref for my shopping! It is pretty wtf about all the crap that is put in our foods and on the things we place on our skins.

My latest crusade is trying to cutdown on plastics, but man even shopping at "natural" stores I still have obscene amounts of difficulty!

heh I think you are a few steps ahead of me on THE GREEN crusade..but I am getting there

Hehe as you might have guessed/read, that owning land thing is exactly what I am aiming for :-)

For now I'll work full time, but switch to part once we have something for me to work on. Pressure cookers scare the willies out of me btw!

Well hun, it sounds kinda like a scare tactic to me. Any of mine that went into the red (and many others that were even rated 10 that I just stumbled upon) were only rated that because it's possible someone could be allergic to the fragrance in it. That was most of the 'problem' so be sure you know why yours is getting a tick mark.
Don't freak out! You shall survive! Tee hee.

I am not freaking I think my shock is just that so much of our everyday is or can be toxic.

I am on the fence about scare tactics because the truth about ANYTHING is, I never feel we know the truth about ANYTHING...so in this case I will err on the side of caution.
I suppose reading that made me dive deeper into the mysteries of auto immune disorders....of course I am not a Dr or scientist so using the best logic I have, a part of my brain has concluded that these mystery auto immune disorders could in part be influenced by our everyday products.

It will be quite impossible to be toxin free in the world we live in, but I will do what I can...and all that....and soon I hope to quit SMOKING toxins YES YES that will be grand =)
