Sunscreens Ratings
Our skin is a living organ and needs to be treated that way. Sunburns are bad, but toxic sunscreen applied daily may be worse. Badger sunscreen is the best. I like California Babies sunscreen as well. Of the standard sunscreens found in “regular” stores, Lanicream is the best, and I think Aveeno is second best.

EWG Food Guide
Provides top list of foods that are highly sprayed with pesticides and thus would be safest if bought organic. Also provides the top least pesticide sprayed foods which would be less concerning if purchased conventionally grown. The list does not comment on nitrites in the ground however. Taking that into consideration, I still recommend all root foods (carrots, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc..) be eaten organic.

Rating scale of many brands of “organic” labelled eggs – unfortunately many common ones like Trader Joes and Horizon rate very poorly (1/5). Organic Valley rated 3/5. I wonder if Whole Foods or Plum carry eggs from Krause Farm – only 5/5 rated farm located in Michigan.
