Here’s a thought………………….
Have you ever wondered what kinds of chemicals you are putting on your face, putting on your body? This is why Chef Marian agrees with Gwyneth Paltrow asking us to change a law, to make a difference, and if you answered yes to that question, this is an important issue for you as well.
According to an email I received today from Gwyneth …..
“…..right now, cosmetics companies are allowed to put nearly any chemical into personal care products sold in the US – even known carcinogens – without any safety testing and without disclosing all the chemicals on labels.
To bridge this gap in oversight, Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) have introduced the Personal Care Products Safety Act in an effort to modernize the regulatory process and make sure the products we use every day are safe”.
So our Senator here in California, Dianne Feinstein is introducing law because she see’s this as a real problem. I’ve included this link in case you would like to contact your senator.
Click here to contact your senators and urge them to add their name to this critical piece of legislation. Another way of contacting the entire congress is to click on American Telegram online or call 1-800-Priority, to send notifications to any and all members of Congress and shine some light on this problem.
“This bill would establish a safety review process for ingredients in personal care products and give federal regulators additional tools they need to protect consumers.
Companies would register and be required to report when products cause harm to someone’s health. The FDA would also have the authority to recall dangerous products if companies won’t do it voluntarily. These are all straightforward, common sense proposals – and they are long overdue”.
The EWG does a pretty good job of supporting issues that are connected to giving us a healthier life and a healthier environment. But they can only do so much. One person at a time can add up to a TON of people. So stand up and be counted by calling American Telegram at 1-800-Priority or going online to place an order for some clean, clear communication to your Senator!
Happy Healthy Eating,
