romaniagrl Organic Milk? May 20, 2008 5:09 PM We have been buying organic milk at our house for a few years now. I got so used to buying it that I stopped paying attention to how much it costs. Today, however, I was at Target and needed to get some milk for my son. They seem to be the only place that sells organic milk by the gallon, so I get it there sometimes. When I checked the price for a gallon it was $5.99. :jawdrop: A regular gallon of milk is about $3. :? I have noticed too that a lot of milk companies state that they use no hormones on their cows and some say no antibiotics. SO what is the difference then? To be credited with the label 'organic,' four criteria must be met by the milk farmers. — Cows milked under the "organic" umbrella can't have been treated with bovine growth hormone — They can't have been given antibiotics while in a herd. (If a cow gets sick enough to warrant such treatment, it is separated from the group) — The cows' food — be it good old grass or feed — cannot have been treated with pesticides or grown from genetically modified seeds — Cows in organic farming have to have "access to pasture" So some non organic milk meets the first two criteria. Now my quest is to try and find out whether buying organic milk is really worth it. A lot of articles I read online say there isn't much of a difference and in fact organic milk does not offer any more benefits than non organic. What do you think? Have you heard anything about this? Do you think people sometimes buy organic because it is a trend right now?

GOTCHA 10 4 HELLO QUEENMARGOT Apr 26, 2008 8:51 PM *HELLO QUEENMARGOT* You are a pathetic woman. All of your lies and all that you have done to injure others, is finally beginning to catch up to you. Your mask is falling, and you are realizing that there are many times now that you can't control your thoughts or your emotions. Many people are laughing behind your back. They are calling you the very same disgusting names that you have called others that you felt were not giving you the constant attention that you so desperately need. You have very serious mental problems, and you try to escape your insane thoughts, but you are unable to do so, because the massive amount of random thoughts that you harbor does not even allow you to sleep. You've made the mistake of sharing your evil actions with others that you thought would never betray you. You were wrong! You have been betrayed, and soon everyone will know about all that which you have single handedly orchestrated for the benefit of only yourself. You have only the emotional maturity of a fairly bright 6 year old. Your emotions are limited. you have no conscience, and it is very difficult for you to even understand boundaries, let alone abide by them. You do understand fear. Now is the time to fear that all are about to view and will anxiously await the moment that you will have pay for the havoc that you have caused in so many innocent lives. I bet that you thought that you were covering all of your bases when you devised plans to hurt others. You should have given that a great deal more thought. the world is full of pathological liars like yourself. they all believe all of their lies, and they all believe that they are too smart to ever get caught. In time, most of them are not only caught, but also forced to pay for the damage that they have done with all of those lies. You understand shame. You are about to crawl away alone carrying that shame along with you, because the very people that you have encouraged to plead your case, will be the same people that will see you for the vile creature that you really are. It's a funny thing about a liar, somehow along the way, they tend to forget which lies they told to which people. Most importantly though, the liar always thinks that his secrets are always safe. Not this time my dear. Enjoy your evening!
romaniagrl Peanut Butter Bumpers Mar 18, 2008 10:38 AM I got these as a snack for my son, and I can't stop eating them. Both last night and today I had a few, then a few more, and a few more.... Now, I'm not even hungry for lunch. This is not good! But the one good thing is that they are 100% natural, made with corn flour and unsulphured molasses and natural peanut butter. So at least I can feel good about that. :feedme:
romaniagrl Do you know your Omega 3's? Jan 21, 2008 7:13 PM This is something I have only heard mentioned in the past few years. Before that I was like "Omega what"??? Many doctors recommend taking a supplement of Omega 3 fatty acids. The benefits are varied, but the ones that interest me the most were that I heard they can help with acne and recenltly was told they help nerve function which helps with depression, anxiety and probably other common female issues. I found this cool info if you have the time to check it out, it tells you foods that contain these fatty acids and interesting to remember that it is more effective to get them from food than supplement pills. So, eat your walnuts and salmon! http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=84
