I was sitting here drinking an Odwalla Superfood, and decided I would try to find the dirt on it, since I've discovered that corporations do something bad to pretty much everything I use (even toothpaste!). It's so disheartening that for every step you take towards a healthier, earth-friendlier, local-business-ier lifestyle, there's a new block in the way. Whether it's inconvenience, or discovering another negative side of something you thought was good for you... I guess my feeling is that I do what I can when I can, and stay aware when I can't. I think your consciousness is awesome, by the by. I came upon your website rather by chance.

As you point out, it's getting more and more difficult to avoid the food monoliths, so I just try to do it where possible. At some point, I just can't obsess about food until it makes me crazy... it's why I could never be vegan. We prefer Food Front Co-Op and Whole Foods Market and New Seasons. I avoid Safeway unless it's an emergency (they are right around the corner from me). I figure it's a good balance. I’ve gotten to the point where I just do the best I can.

Safe foods are really hard to come by half the time out here. I've been known to carry on ice chest in the car for any chance find of a non genetically engineered food. I use a list food on this website: <a href="http://www.truefoodnow.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.truefoodnow.org/</a> When I shop. Anyways that link you got via your friend is helpful for me.
