This is a pet peeve of mine these days!! I am so frustrated about this

since we try to eat organic etc and even with the added expense, it is

not safe to use even the well known brands. I for one am ALL for

convenience on occasion and with all the prep we have to do especially

with children who are on special diets, I find it unacceptable that

these " safe " foods are not really " safe " . We cook a lot from scratch

but these days with parents working long hours without any choice and

having so many unavoidable responsibilities, convenience foods such as

canned organic soups and veggies are a huge time saver. Personally I do

not have any time to cook in quantities any longer and freeze it or at

least to do this on ongoing basis. Bottom line to me is that organic

and other foods for that matter should be safe if they are sold to us

as such! Sorry for my rant but I have a pantry full of " safe " foods

that I use to supplement our meals and also a child who tends towards

ADHD. Just wondering how much of it is linked!! Even if I wanted to

cook all from scratch we still need some of the canned foods in order

to make that happen unless I want to for instance make my own tomato

sauce for chilli!! I wonder if the plastic that organic frozen foods

are sold in are safe too! We buy organic veggies and fruits all the

time frozen in our area since they are not available fresh or by

consortium. We can't go back to what our grandmothers did in my house

and cook it all from scratch so this is more than frustrating!!

Off my soapbox this AM and off to cook some things that are most likely

unsafe for our holiday party at our house later today! Geez!

Have a great holiday!
