Cool concept. Good luck Ms. Corbett. Would love to see the milk pouch south of the northern border.

Study: Packaged food raises levels of bisphenol A

Hope you have reduced your exposure to bisphenol A, too.
P.S. Hope you don't use those dreaded dryer sheets. Don't like wearing clothing with unknown chemicals coating them. Wonder what rubs of onto my skin.

Average American*?

I always thought that my wife and I were average Americans*. Recently I began looking at "America" and how most of the citizens live their lives. I have had to reconsider our status as "average" Americans. We do not eat fast food, conusme soft drinks, like tall food, shop at Costco and Walmart. We do not Facebook. We drive a Prius. We eat organic foods when possible. Given we do not follow the average American eating and buying demographics, I have come to the conclusion that we are not "average" Americans. We are AB normal Americans. Actually, we are AB normal USers**.

 

*I loosely use the term "American" to represent those individuals that reside in the nation we call the United States of America.

**The term "USer" has yet to gain popularity in the general media. Since all people residing in North, Central and South America are Americans, the term "USer" would be more appropriate in labeling those who live in the United States of America. (Also given that we USers consume more per capita than other countries the label is even more relevant.)
