What is Melamine? Eye roll, yes another thing for us mommies to worry about (or not).

I’m frustrated that companies like Coke and DelMonte would try to use advertising dollars to market BPA and pull the wool over consumers eyes using a pregnant [...]

Here we go again, mom bloggers raising a fuss over nothing and linking to each other, using one another for sources and making something out of nothing…again [insert eye roll].

greenandcleanmom — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 19:01:13 +0000

Four years ago my dad informed me that I could not use Avent bottles because he had gotten an email that there was a dangerous chemical called BPA in the bottles. Want to know what I did? I rolled my eyes, figured my dad had no idea what he was talking about, who believes stuff [...]
