Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Anyone else get the Seventh generation newsletter? An interesting excerpt, I knew many of these but not all: The good news is that there are still some companies that are what we think they are.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 <<Anyone else get the Seventh generation newsletter?>> Yep! While it's not officially vegetarian, it's well written and almost all of the info is useful to vegetarians of all stripes. The overlap between us veggies and the green community in general is pretty big. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yikes! And I thought we were supporting some relatively small companies. A related problem is that we get mass contamination and recalls as we saw recently with Earth Bound spinach b/c all the agriculture being concentrated in one place. All the more reason to support your local farmers' market and/or local organic growers -- if you are lucky enough to have them near by. ~Paul darranged wrote: > > > Anyone else get the Seventh generation newsletter? > An interesting excerpt, I knew many of these but not all: > The good news is that there are still some companies that are what we > think they are.
