Kraft Italian Vinaigrette with Extra Virgin Olive Oil - A step in the right direction

I've been trying out Kraft's new Italian Vinaigrette which, in addition to being made with extra virgin olive oil, is also nice in that a lot of the usual junk (high fructose corn syrup and the varieties of MSG/yeast extract) aren't in this, and yet it remains a very tasty and flavorful (and fairly affordable) dressing.  The ingredient list is a lot better than some of the other shelf dressings - from the site, they are:

Ingredients: WATER, VINEGAR, EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, SUGAR, CANOLA OIL, SALT, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF GARLIC*, RED BELL PEPPERS*, CARROTS*, SPICE, XANTHAN GUM, ONIONS*, LEMON JUICE CONCENTRATE GREEN ONIONS*, POTASSIUM SORBATE AND CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA PRESERVATIVES. *DRIED.

I could do without the preservatives, but all the same, this is better than some of the other MSG-rich dressings out there.

It does remind me, though, of something I read in a book called Wild Fermentation, in which the author Ellix Katz mentioned that it doesn't make sense to buy salad dressing at the store, but instead that its extremely easy to just make at home (and his book included a couple recipes for dressings, as I recall.)  And yes, homemade is best, but there are times when I do like the convenience of having a pre-mixed dressing, preferably without junk, so this works for me.

Abortion Clinic 911 Calls

Fascinating resource regarding Abortion Clinic 911 Calls.

This blog is primarily about nutrition, but I do link to health and medical issues as well that I think are noteworthy or worth checking out.  The topic of Abortion clinic 911 calls is also one that can be looked up on YouTube as well, with a number of videos out there.

Rumford Baking Powder

I've been using Rumford baking powder recently for baking, primarily because it's one of the few brands I've been able to find that is aluminum free.  I'm always glad to support products that advertise the junk that is NOT included in them.

On a related note, I thought this Natural News article was interesting, about Vaccines and the link to aluminum allergies.

Food, Inc.

A fascinating look at where food comes, with some fairly brutal scenes from some Tyson chicken plants.  Much good information presented, including the dangers to health and to the environment.  What was most inspiring to me was seeing the life of the organic farmer that was presented.  I don't remember his name, but his farm was an excellent display of how organic, natural farming SHOULD be done instead.

There is a lot of good information presented, but so much more on the subject could have been said.  I rented this from the library, but its also currently streamable on netflix.

Country Hen Eggs

The local HEB just recently started carrying Country Hen eggs, and I've been impressed with these (if for no other reason than at how YELLOW the yolks are of these eggs.)  The cost is a little steep, but I think it's worth it for the nutritional benefit of these eggs.  The hens are cage free, they get sun, they are fed certified organic, and the eggs as a result are high in omega-3s.  After watching the horrific Food, Inc, I'm always glad to find healthier chickens that aren't brutally clustered in windowless coops.
