Rise the women in food

August 16, 2017 1 Comment

I don’t normally write about feminist issues. That doesn’t mean I am not observing carefully the variety of ways in which women are still stripped today. If not of their clothes – well, there’s that too – but of the equal place we aspire to in our society. Recently I asked an older gentleman (M1) if he knew what women want most of all.

Beauty that benefits the earth

beauty-that-benefits-the-earth

How deep do we need to go in greening our lives? As deep as it goes; to the bone. Of course it matters what we feed one of our biggest organs, the skin. Who would like to knowingly expose their lymph glands to a concoction of chemicals contained in 'regular,' often toxic, cosmetics and body products?
