Global Warming. No Laughing Matter.
For the first time in recorded history, scientists are finding that the glacier on Africa's Mount Kilamajaro is melting. Halfway around the world, in North America, locals say they don't remember this ever happening before, but Lake Erie didn't freeze over this winter. 2005 was the hottest year and the most destructive hurricane season on record. Experts from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and a United Nations task force of over 2,500 scientists say the intensity of these storms will increase even more as ocean temperatures continue to rise. Greenland is dumping melting ice into the ocean three times faster than the early 1990s... at a rate of 70 MILLION acres per year. The Organic Consumers Association, now nearly one million people strong, is preparing to launch a massive campaign that offers conscious citizens, like you, tools to reduce global warming and build a sustainable future. Stay tuned...
And it's not just my crazy hippie talk. It was covered on 60 Minutes last week...so even the naysayers have to start listening now. Hopefully.

on a good note, Progresso soups are cool! they write VEGETARIAN or NON-VEGETARIAN at the top of their list of ingredients, so you don't have to read it all to find out that their vegetable soup isn't vegetarian but their garden vegetable is as well as their minestrone. but it says so (or not) right on the label! so you don't have to spend all your time squinting in the aisle at HEB all night.
and on a sour note, i bought a really expensive One A Day huge bottle of multivitamins for Womens (200 tablets = expensive) so i'm gonna finish the bottle regardless, but JUST NOW i read the damn thing looking to see what kind of calcium is in there (because i heard that the calcium citrate is what you want instead of the calcium carbonate) and the DAMN vitamins contain, and i quote (!) "Contains: fish (cod, pollock, haddock, hake, cusk, redfish) and soy."
WTF?! i mean, did they have to kill an entire school of fish, SIX different types of fish, just to give me a tiny bit of some vitamin?! i mean Come On! i wish freakin' vitamins had a huge NON-VEGETARIAN on the labels, cuz i swear, i've learned to avoid the gel caps, but this is ridiculous. oh well. if any meat-eating female out there would like to buy this brand new 200 count one-a-day women's multivitamin, i'd be more than happy to get it off my hands. else, i'm broke, and i'm gonna eat the whole bottle over the next three months and never buy one-a-day again. my mistake, but that is just overkill. literally.

i almost wrote sexpensive earlier. i like that.
i also like to say multi-vitamins like LeLu says multi-pass in the fifth element. and i'm sure you really care.
