Carrot Lollipops

Carrot Lollipops

Those terrible hollow chocolate bunnies have got to go.

Luckily, there is a new treat in town. These Carrot Lollipops might not have any actual carrot in them, but hey, the kids won’t mind. Don’t worry, they do manage to get a vegetable in there. Spinach!

Here’s the ingredient list: Organic tapioca syrup, vegan cane sugar, citric acid, natural flavor from oranges and limes, colored with beta carotene, annatto and spinach concentrate.

***Update 10/22/24: Looks like the rabbits got into Williams Sonoma where these were originally found and ate all the carrot lollipops. Not to worry, we can just move on to a different veggiepop! Check out these 8Greens Supergreens Lollipops.

Old-Timey Toast With The Genuine Pyramid Toaster

Jacob Bromwell Original Genuine Pyramid Toaster

The Jacob Bromwell Original Genuine Pyramid Toaster is old. As in old-timey charm, that is. The camping contrivance is designed to be placed over an open fire and holds a couple of slices of bread at a time. Within a few moments, the device turns out nicely-browned toast, quickly and easily–no extension cords required.

Three Hundred Bottles Of Wine On The Round

Wine Enthusiast Wine Cork Lazy Susan Kit

Blending craft and drinking isn’t necessarily such a bad idea. Sure, results may become occasionally messy, but sometimes that is the charm in homemade objects d’art. The Wine Enthusiast Wine Cork Lazy Susan Kit doesn’t require any art skills, but the completed project will look quite crafty when it is set up on the table. Room enough for 300 wine corks, all held in place with a flat, see-though, acrylic top, the tabletop contrivance offers a neat and tidy solution for storing and displaying wine corks. That is, until the sparkles, glue and paint set gets busted out.

GMO Fish?

Without getting into the benefits and drawbacks of genetically modified food, I think it’s safe to say that most of use want to know what we are getting into when we eat. Or more precisely, what is getting into us.

Below is a petition written by Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation and Gary Hirshberg, Chairman of Stonyfield Farm.

The FDA is on the brink of approving genetically engineered salmon for human consumption. This would be the first genetically engineered animal on supermarket shelves in the United States. The salmon is engineered to produce growth hormones year-round that cause the fish to grow at twice the normal rate. The government already requires labels to tell us if fish is wild-caught or farm-raised – don’t we also have a right to know if our salmon is genetically engineered? Without labels, we’ll never know.

More than forty countries, including Russia and China, already require labels on genetically engineered foods. As Americans, we firmly believe that we deserve the same right to know what we are eating.

That’s why we hope you’ll join us and over half a million other Americans in telling the FDA to require labels on genetically engineered foods.
