		<title>A letter to Target</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Re: Red Card Dear Target, If you really want to help schools, just do it. Don&#8217;t make it conditional on whether I sign up for your marketing program (so you can track my purchases). Don&#8217;t make it conditional on how much I spend in your store. In fact, don&#8217;t make it conditional on me shopping [...]

		<title>One burger, hold the e.coli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the most recent beef recall, mechanical tenderizing drove the e.coli deep into the meat, where cooking might not kill it. That kind of kills the whole idea of the consumer being responsible for cooking out pathogens. Personally, I expect my food to be untainted and safe. Based on the lack of public outcry over [...]

		<title>Dear Old Navy, Here is Your To Do List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Old Navy, I&#8217;ve made you a short To Do list for next year&#8217;s online holiday shopping season: 1. Real-time stock updates. If you&#8217;ve emailed me that something I ordered is out of stock, I shouldn&#8217;t be able to buy something two days later. Better yet, take a note from Amazon and don&#8217;t list things [...]

		<title>Fortunate Trinkets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My kids love Lucky Charms. Well, they love to eat the marshmallow Charms&#8230; the crunchy Luckys are apparently not so desirable. We* always end up with half a box of cereal-sans-marshmallows that gets tossed out or eaten by me. So I had this idea. Why not make a replacement box of just marshmallows to add [...]

		<title>Box Tops for Education is ridiculous</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At least once a week, my son comes home from school asking me to collect Box Tops for Education. At his school, the class that collects the most gets an ice cream party. Are schools that desperate for additional funds? Seriously, if companies want to give money to schools, they should just do it. Not [...]

		<title>5 Things Whole Foods is Doing Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the tweet-request of @msmari, here are 5 things I think Whole Foods is doing right. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I don&#8217;t think WF is perfect. But I do think it&#8217;s miles ahead of other chain grocery stores. 1. Customer Service: If you read my blog or tweets, you know I&#8217;ve had quite a bit [...]

		<title>365 Brand Kettle Cooked Potato Chips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We love Whole Foods 365 Kettle Cooked Potato Chips. They are a delicious savory treat. There is, however, a problem with the packaging. The copy on the back reads: &#8220;Snacking is a national past time [sic]&#8220;? Really? Snacking is a pastime, and a national one at that. No wonder why there is so much obesity [...]

		<title>Kid&#8217;s Vitamins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on a quest to find a vitamin for my kids that has less sugar and extra ingredients than the horrible Disney Gummies (or any gummy vitamin) they have right now. (In my defense, Nate can be very persistent. Which isn&#8217;t much of a defense.) Luckily, Very Helpful Whole Foods Guy gave me some great [...]

		<title>The One Label a Day Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the challenge: Every day, pick one food product in your house or at the store and read the ingredients. Skip the nutrition information, just read the ingredients. Then decide whether you want to eat it and/or serve it to your family. It&#8217;s so easy to be caught up in exaggerated health claims, convenience, or [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s what happens when I drop the ball on reading ingredients and purchasing thoughtfully: I end up giving my kids really expensive candy fortified with vitamins. Here are the ingredients for Disney Gummies Princesses: Corn Syrup, Sugar, Grape Juice Concentrate, Modified Corn Starch, Gelatin, Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Natural Flavors, Black Carrot Juice Color Concentrate, [...]
