Wednesday the <a href=\"http:\/\/envirolaw.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Environmental Law Foundation<\/a>\u00a0\u201cfiled <a href=\"http:\/\/envirolaw.org\/documents\/FINALNewsRelease.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Notices of Violation<\/a> of California Proposition 65 Toxics Right to Know law, alleging the toxic chemical lead was found in a variety of children\u2019s and baby foods. The specific food categories included apple juice, grape juice, packaged pears and peaches (including baby food), and fruit cocktail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/envirolaw.org\/documents\/ProductsTestedforLeadFINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">complete list<\/a>\u00a0of lead contaminated juices includes brands I trust like Santa Cruz Organics and Trader Joe\u2019s. The list also includes a few non-contaminated brands.<\/p>\n<p>Josie doesn\u2019t drink much juice because it seems to make her crazy \u2013 like jump on her trampoline while Mommy counts to 75 (one count per jump) then sing the alphabet song twice without stopping kind of crazy. Have I mentioned that we have a mini-trampoline in our living room? A few months ago I met with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nestseattle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">coolest organizer\/decorator in the world<\/a>. Can you see us standing around, me with my notebook in hand to take down her brilliance, her rubbing her chin with index finger and thumb (she wouldn\u2019t do that but just play along). We move furniture, we reconfigure, we solve all the problems of the room then\u2026 Hey, you know what would look great right here? A mini-tramp, yeah, one with blue padding around the edge decorated with green frogs and a giant foam handle. Just far enough from the fireplace that if she falls, she won\u2019t hit her head but close enough to the kitchen&#8230; Yes, right here in the center, let me just move this coffee table out of the way, OMG its perfect!<\/p>\n<p>Moving on\u2026 We try to eat unprocessed whole foods and this is just one more case for that. Packaging and processing can cause all kinds of trouble. But what\u2019s a child to drink? I\u2019m going to put Josie on an all-water, retrieved from pure mountain streams, rehydration plan. She will drink this pure-mountain-stream water only from a stainless steel cup, scratch that, she will drink only from her cupped hands, her cupped hands washed with organic handmade soap and air dried. And the stream will be high in the mountains, no scratch that, she will drink only melted fresh mountain snow from organic-soap-washed, cupped hands. Then I will obtain a sheep and I will dress her in clothes made of wool. She will only eat lettuce from the garden. Bathing will become unnecessary. If you need me, I\u2019ll be in the forest, gathering sticks and fallen branches to whittle into shoes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shoelaces?
