The Truth about Food Additives
I recently read an article from The Daily Green that discussed the amount of additives and chemicals that the average American consumes per year.
Would you believe that this number is 9 pounds! 9 pounds of harmful and

Do you buy local? Do you buy organic? Do you buy seasonal?
Well....if you don't....you should. I don't all the time, but I try to as much as I can. Not only is it healthier, but it can help you lead better lives, lose weight and reduce your carbon footprint!
