Natural Food Brand Favorites are Selling Out to Big Corporations! Its a Crying Shame!

Ever wonder what happened to the quality of Tom's toothpaste, Garden Burger, Arrowhead Mills, Health Valley, Soy Dream, Garden of Eatin, Avalon and Alba beauty products? The list is endless.


Colgate, Kellogg, Hain/Celestial that's what.
Small, successful company's have long sold out to the big corps. The American dream you say? Build a business up from the ground and sell for big profits............that is what they told us is success.

I hate this fact and am seriously dreading the day that Amy's foods
sells out too!!!!!! Please don't...............Kellogg's ruined Garden
Burgers............Tom's toothpaste can 'run' out of the tube........

How can I stay brand loyal when this keeps happening?.........
The products are NEVER the same once sold.........'-(

The U.S Postal Service, Can They Survive? Health Insurance is Breaking Everyone!

I have written before in regards to the health care insurance costs that are insane, for profit
and in the end will take all our money if something isn't done.

http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/09/05/canceled-mail-could-the-u-s-postal-service-really-close/

From the above article:
   "With labor unions at the heart of the issue—USPS contracts include a no-layoffs clause for a staff that enjoys a screaming-great healthcare benefit package and accounts for 80% of all USPS expenses, far outpacing the ratio for the UPS (53%) and FedEx (just 32%").

80% of ALL USPS expenses...............WHAT!!!!!

Fast Food Without The Bad Rap/There are nicer options out there now!

It has been eons since I have posted on this blog.......

Be sure, while on the road, out and about, that you
stop into Starbucks and try their evolving *fast food* options!

Today I tried a protein Bistro Box.
Nice alternative to a bag full of grease.
Apples along with honeyed peanut butter,  grapes, hard boiled egg (with s&p packets).
Grain mini pita, slices of cheese. Very nice.

(I am not getting paid)

note: not all Starbucks have expanded food menu.........

California is one of a handful of states where health insurers can raise rates without state approval.

I am tired.....oh so tired with the health insurance increases and Blue Cross crying that they are going broke; after posting a 51% increase in ONE year to $877 million...........puleeeez.
I could buy a house with our monthly payments and the $7500 per person, per year deductibles. Is no one else PAYING for their own health care but us?
Oh and to add to the misery, our GP doctor just sent us a divorce by letter, that he could no longer be our doctor.
"Can't stay in business while taking all the different insurances. Write out law makers" it says.....WTF???!!! So we now have no general doctor for our family.....WHAT? So much for Obama-care......what a joke......
