i'm with you! i'd love a thread as a reference point for those things. i do refer to the ethical shopping list but sometimes it doesn't answer all my questions.

it's a new thing for me - isn't it weird how having a child makes you more concerned about what's in food, when we should be just as concerned about consuming those things ourselves!

muppity - preserving actually does sound like fun. i can definitely see myself making batches of tomatoes or something. that might have to be a project for me!
