And came to the party incredibly late. Good thing: The article is GONE. I tried searching for "war and your weight", but when you click on the link, it redirects you eventually. Which is awesome. But they still have http://www.beinggirl.com/en_US/articledetail.jsp?ContentId=ART543, And http://www.beinggirl.com/en_US/articledetail.jsp?ContentId=ART326 Yeah, haven’t posted in awhile.

Is it too much to hope that they finally wised up? I'm all shaky now. This kind of stuff really disturbs me.

I found a website that you can subscribe to for a fee to get information on how ethical different companies are, and I haven't paid, but they let you look up certain things for free. So I checked out my good ole Crest toothpaste, made by Proctor and Gamble. They got a 0 out of 20. That's like, lower than Coca Cola. A zero! So I'm trying not to buy Tampax, Covergirl, Crest, and the other half of the world that they own. In response to the person who mentioned alternatives to tampons, I use a Lunette, a type of menstrual cup (DivaCup is easier to get in the US, but you can order Lunette online, too), and it works well for me. Before I tried it, I looked at the livejournal community about menstrual cups, and it helped me figure it out. After writing them, just avoid Proctor and Gamble as much as possible.

If you're the kind of person who bikes to the grocery store, has ADD, and is forgetful. I won't go to the grocery store hungry unless I am *planning* to buy a sandwich for lunch while I'm there. If I do and I skip the sandwich, there's good odds that I'll bonk on my ride home. That's dumb, and I try not to be dumb. And of course I write down what I eat... on the grocery list so I don't forget anything important. Like chocolate. Or milk. The list is also useful for talking myself out of a bag of chips... not coz chips are bad for me. The problem is a bag of chips is *big* and I should get them at the grocery store I can *walk* to! Most 10 year olds don't buy groceries tho, and they don't have any of my other fun problems. Some of the advice is good.
