Information is only valuable if we know what we’re going to do with it and actually take action. It can be totally overwhelming. One way to cut down on info overload, as you point out, is to focus on whole foods and minimally processed foods. I know what’s in the vegetables in my CSA box each week – – no label to read. Also, I have my “go to” brands of foods and personal care products. These are brands that are minimally processed, and I’ve taken the time to read the label. No need to reinvent the wheel every time I hit the grocery store. For personal care products, I have the inside scoop because I’ve developed a line of skin, fem protection & baby care products that are free from potentially harmful chemicals and proven effective (called Puristics & available in early 2011).

Personal responsibility is at the heart of it. We each need to own our choices and get the info we need to feel comfortable. If we do it bit by bit, it’s less overwhelming.
