Comment on Opposition to The Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 (H.R. 5786)

Thanks. And plese spread the word on this. In a few days I plan to write more on this...something odd that was brought to my attention regarding this idiocy legislation.

And btw, there actually are issues in many states regarding Farmers Markets and the fact that Big Agra and Corporate Grocery Retail Concerns are feeling a bit of a pinch from mid-Spring to mi -Fall. Big Agra and CGRC are a tad pissed about the locavore movements and are very pissed that most states now allow the EBT foodstamps (SNAP) to be used at the Famers Markets for fresh food. It's a complicated issue too, but it has many of the same problems as my industry: Making 1 size fits all regulations and rules. It doesn't work and it forces out the very entities that have not only the best, tastiest and did I mention locally grown food, but also have good food safe history: the family farms. Family Farmers live where they grow. They take care of the land because the land is taking care of them. Just saying.

Once again, thanks for signing and spread the word.

i signed the patition and I hope this helps to keep the creeps at bay. If they need work, they should look into improving meds for the public, or make sure our food and baby formula, plus pet food is safe BEFORE and not after a few hundred have died. Thanks for alerting us to this mess being dug up aain. I guess someone or a company has their shorts in a bunch and can`t pull it out of their crack. Before you know it they will want to close Farmers Markets because possible problems with the food not being sold in a store.

Hi from over here!
The sesonal flower theme has crossed my mind. But they would end up being made with fragrance oils and I try to keep a balance of 50/50 natural fragrance/frarance oils. But...since I have expanded my distribution outlets a bit, I may just do that and see what happens. Make a small run of them.

So what's your seasonal flower favorites? Besides an English Rose? <snicker>

Toddles.

I`m not into floral soaps and the lemon one will make me hungry. Do you have any dirt smelling soap? Bun loves dirt/mud. Maybe if he had dirt sented soap, it wouldn`t be such a fight to dip his dirty body into the bath water.

The floral soaps sound great and I`m looking forward to ordering them. From the Jo`s Rose, which I dearly love and favorite, the floral Spring soap just could easily be another soap I`ll include in my orders. Plus I know people!! I like the sound of a lemon soap.
