NANO

CLICK: NANO NEWS

This is so scary! There should just be ONE company that is responsible for all food coming into and being sold in the US. What the heck is nano-food?! We want REAL food! Just REAL food!

I guess the positive is that it's being added to foods that we already shouldn't be eating, like packaged cake mixes, salad dressings, and diet soda. But...it's in ice cream too and ice cream is my one "bad" love that I can't give up! Oh no!

Why don't people take responsibility for their actions, but even more important, how can people go to sleep at night knowing that they are adding something that may cause cancer to our foods?

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND

I celebrated a birthday this weekend and could not go one more week without a post to all of you, thanking you for your dedication to making this world a better place, with healthier, more vibrant, happier people in it. The number of people who said "Happy Birthday" to me this weekend was enormous, and I appreciate every one of you.

I was able to enjoy the sunshine while playing at the park, and watch my child make friends and share toys.

I was able to ice skate in Central Park with my family, wearing only t-shirts and jeans, and it was so much fun! We weren't experts, but it was an experience none-the-less! And I was able to wave to my baby, who got excited each time I strode by. It was beautiful.

I was able to share in the experience of a first haircut, a first ride around the jungle gym, a shared dinner with loved ones, and many, many smiles. It was a wonderful weekend.

I hope all of you had an amazing weekend as well, and I will "speak" to you again soon!

Love,
Amanda
