Is there anything that is safe for our kids to eat anymore?? I know tuna is supposedly high in mercury, yet WIC still provides it to pregnant/ breastfeeding women, I know because I get the coupons for it. I have an infant that was almost 2 months premature and the thought that I might be harming her with what I eat and feed her is terrifying. I do breastfeed her because it's the best thing for her, but she is now trying new foods. I am going to buy a food mill as soon as I can and try to at least make her as much fresh food as possible. Is there a free site or newsletter on the web that can be subscribed to? I swear this is why low income families are so unhealthy, we just don't have access to important information.

I mean I sort of new that it was a "flavor enhancer" but that was about it. In this course called "Science, Technology and Society" one of the required reading pieces was about Monosodium Glutamate. When I discovered that it was made with a close chemical relative of Draino I literally freaked. Sometimes you just get "that" feeling that something is really bad. That was one of those times for me. I told myself no more MSG. Back then it was a lot easier to stay away from it. Now-a-days it is extremely difficult to find anything without it, especially after reading this post and your other post <a href="http://aromatherapy4u.wordpress.com/2006/10/09/hidden-sources-of-msg-in-regular-organic-foods/" rel="nofollow">"Hidden Sources..."</a>. Thanks for the heads up and keep up the good work! I first became truly aware of MSG in the late 1980’s while attending college.
