Meal Kits are Taking Over the USofA Who knew that prep (meal kit) and no prep (heat and eat) meal delivery services would eventually become the future?  When it comes to cooking, either you know how to do it or you do not.  If you fall into the latter category, you probably get by ordering out everyday or if you have the means, hire a private chef.  What I love most about meal delivery services is that it doesn't matter what category you fall into! If you don't know how to cook, you can most certainly learn through prep (meal kit) based meal delivery services.  On the other hand, if you are an experienced cook, prep and no prep delivery plans allow for the food experimenter to achieve the bliss of food diversity.  Eating the same foods over and over can get a bit boring!  If you're someone who loves to try new foods and recipes ALL the time, meal delivery services may be the route that you need to take.  Thanks to food delivery services such as Hello F...

New Study Reveals Non Organic Cereals and Granola Bars Are Full of GLYPHOSATE WEEDKILLER!

A study recently completed by EWG (Environmental Working Group) found alarming levels of glyphosate on breakfast cereals and other foods from companies such as General Mills and Gerber. Glyphosate is a weedkiller that is produced by Bayer-Monsanto. Many of the cereals found to have troubling levels of weedkiller on them are made by food manufacturer, General Mills. Popular cereals such as Cheerios and Honey nut Cheerios had the highest amounts of glyphosate. Over twenty oat based cereals and snack products were tested and almost all contained levels higher than EWG’s health and safety benchmark. EWG’s safety benchmark is 160 ppb (parts per billion). Anything above this number is considered to be toxic and dangerous if consumed. Honey Nut Cheerios had an astounding number of 833 ppb of glyphosate, while Nature’s Valley Granola bars contained 566 ppb level.



The World Health Organization has classified glyphosate as carcinogenic to human beings. California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment classified glyphosate as a “known carcinogen” in 2017. There has been quite a few high profile cases against Monsanto, the producer of roundup weed and grass killer, which has led to juries awarding over 2 billion dollars to customers who developed cancer after exposure to pesticides and weedkiller. Glyphosate is sprayed on genetically modified oats, soybeans and corn. The only safe bet to avoid exposure to glyphosate is to refrain from consuming food products with these ingredients unless the products are USDA certified organic. The below chart contains the amounts of glyphosate found in the specific food products made by General Mills, Gerber and Mead Johnson:

As health conscious consumers, we want to urge governing U.S. agencies such as EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to set and enforce standards so that food manufacturers such as General Mills will stop using chemicals such as glyphosate and other pesticides ad herbicides on crops. Let your voice be heard through this petition, started by EWG to help get these pesticides out of our environment. You may sign the petition by clicking here: https://act.ewg.org/

First Ethical Diamond Made from Agave

1800 Tequila is a spirit brand that has managed to create a diamond made from Mexican tequila. Their tequila is made in Tequila, Mexico using a traditional distillation process extracted from blue Weber agave. 1800 Tequila is known for its flavored tequilas such as coconut and a ñejo , an expression with rich butterscotch and vanilla notes. 1800 Tequila has diverged from their usual route of tequila production to enter the luxury jewelry scene. The unique 5.5 carat diamond was unveiled at this year’s Met Gala whose theme was centered around the Black Dandy expressionist form. The diamond was crafted into a brooch designed by Jonathan Raksha and was worn by actress and vocalist, Janelle Monae.
