America (and I'm sure some other nations) as a whole has decided to label everything "green", "organic", and many other "safe" words. Is this to make us feel better? Feel that we are living enviormentally correct, cruelty free, and generally better than yesterday? Well, yes, but I also believe it is to make us buy more crap. The Wal-Mart in my town has taken down the huge lighted sign from the yard of their store and instead placed a simple looking sign with an old looking hanging light, painted the building brown, and changed the floor to partial fake wood, but why? To make you forget, to make you stop thinking. Wal-Mart (as well as many other corporations) are putting up a facade. Wal-Mart still uses slave labor of children(and adults, I'm sure) in Asian(and probably other) countries, so does Nike, and PLENTY other companies. The people in charge of the "big business" in America want you to think that the dish soap you bought from Wal-Mart is better for the enviorment because they put natural on the label. If you wash your plastic dishes with dish detergent the plastic will grab on to carcinogens from the soap. Just because it says "natural" "organic" or whatever doesn't really mean much. There are very faded lines around what a product has to be to be organic, there aren't any lines around what is natural.

Is it ok with you that we are being lied to constantly by the very people who produce our food? If we don't fix this very serious problem who will?

I'm going to look for a J-O-B today! I need one to feed the addiction of dollies! So yea, that's the plan -- take movies back, go to the P.O. and take back/pick up applications. Woo-Hoo! I can just see those lovely Pullip sized boxes on the (preverbial, since we use a PO box ^^;) door-step now...not to mention Dad is getting ready to make me pay for my insurance >.< Rats!
