In a world where fast food is king and
profit margins are more important than the quality of what we feed the
children, it’s nearly impossible to tell the good from the bad. This is not a
scare tactic persuading you into buying more expensive food, but a wake up call
to take action and decide for yourself instead of letting the media deciding for you.
This is bigger than just what you eat, but down to the ingredients in your cosmetics, where your energy source comes from, and what’s in every day products you may buy for your home… that’s barely scratching the surface. At Tree Limin’ Extreme, we promote healthy living in an eco-friendly way!
Luckily, there is a group out there that is a great reference for anyone looking to educate him or herself on what’s really going on in this world. They are called Environmental Working Group or EWG. Their goal is to educate and empower the average consumer and unmask the wrongdoings of widely popular products to create a healthier tomorrow. We strongly believe in what EWG has to say and what they are doing for the world.
Their app “SkinDeep” is much like the first app, with the bar-code scanner and scores, but rates products all the way from make-up to sunscreen.
Their third app is called “Dirty Dozen”. This is a shoppers guide to pesticides in products. It labels all the fruits and veggies that are more susceptible to pesticide residues and which aren’t. While eating organically has grown 11% from 2013 to 2014, it may be hard for every family to afford a purely organic diet. With this app, you will be able to see what you should buy organic and what products are safe from pesticides.
By educating ourselves on what is good and what is bad, we will be able to create a better and brighter tomorrow! With these useful tools, you can easily become an advocate for safe and healthy products for you and your family.
