It’s what I’ve been saying all along—give more, buy less. Check out BuyLessCrap.com. Something else I’ve come across: Product Red has spent as much as a reported $100 million on advertising and promotion, but has raised only $18 million to fight AIDS in Africa. This makes me more sad than mad, I suppose. Devil’s advocate POV: You can’t put a price on spreading awareness. Cynical POV: I wonder how much those companies made from all this?

My almost five-year-old son is the pickiest of the picky. This boy has not voluntarily eaten a fruit or vegetable since he was an infant, and he would rather go hungry than eat the healthy choices I serve. My husband is of the let-him-eat-cake philosophy so long as he's actually eating somehing. Me, I'll give in to his endless requests for cereal and PBJ sandwiches only after scrutinizing every ingredient. I don't understand how my son grows, but I am convinced his nutritional status is affecting other aspects of his life (which we are now addressing). BTW -he does love popcorn, but only if it's been popped on the stove the good ole fashioned way. Good boy! Information overload - but it’s all good!

How do you find all this information? I actually wanted to peel the eyeballs out of my head and give 'em a good rinse off, but the water here is barely potable. My brain just melted.
