Great article on celiac and gluten intolerance from CBS News. (CBS News) Gluten-free food has become popular and profitable — but sometimes products labeled “gluten free” — aren’t.

The Story of Cosmetics
I love “The Story of…” videos. This one, The Story of Cosmetics, came out a year ago in support of safer cosmetics. I posted about it back then. Happily, one year later, the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011 is being introduced. It will eliminate the most harmful chemicals from cosmetics, much like Europe does already, and make sure cosmetics are … Continue reading

The truth about Drowning
A friend of mine shared this link today (thanks Beth!) and I want to share it with you. When you imagine someone drowning, you picture a thrashing person calling for help. However, as I learned today, that is truly the case. A drowning person isn’t thrashing and isn’t calling for help. First, I want to point out this line by … Continue reading
Gluten Free Rice A Roni
Ah, the memories of that blue box. “Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat!” That was my favorite part of dinner growing up and even into adulthood. Then along came the idea to eat healthier which was soon followed by that ugly little thing I call Gluten Intolerance. Getting tired of plain rice, or even plain rice jazzed with a little chicken … Continue reading
