The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing.

Touch ?n Seal and Touch ?n Foam products are entirely BPE-Free, and are not / will not be affected by any current or pending legislation targeted at banning brominated flame retardants. As of January, 2006, 14 states have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation to ban specific brominated flame retardants. Numerous scientific studies have found some brominated flame retardants have leached into groundwater from landfills, ultimately ending up in the human bloodstream. Because of a solid body of scientific evidence, many states are now being proactive by restricting the usage of these compounds. The chemical compounds are generally called BPEs (brominated diphenyl ethers), or PBPEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers), and the specific compounds under the threat of a ban are penta-BPEs, octa-BPEs, and deca-BPEs. They are commonly used in electronic applications, and sometimes in polyurethane spray foams. This legislation will have no effect on any Touch ?n Seal or Touch ?n Foam product. |
