So-called organic meat, dairy and eggs are sold as a means for people to reduce their exposure to hormones and chemical toxins.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that animals raised on an organic operation must be fed organic feed and given access to the outdoors. They are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic crops are raised without using most conventional pesticides and using no petroleum-based or sewage-sludge-based fertilizers.

My 5-year-old cut off my hair and learned about what beauty really is. My ponytail and me!
It is somewhat hard to begin this story because it could start in so many places. Like when I was younger and my theatre teacher told me to grow my hair out because I needed to look more "feminine;" or the countless times I have seen ads, commercials, or any other media outlet showing beautiful women with equally gorgeous, flowing hair. It could also start when we found out my mom had cancer, although she was more frightened about losing her breasts than her hair. Most recently my four-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Olivia, came home from her preschool and announced she needed to have long hair to be "pretty" and it wouldn't hurt if I could put her in a dress for school. Initially I didn't think much of that comment, but it bothered me. I promptly told her she was pretty no matter what she wore, including messy, short hair and muddy shoes. When she emerged later as Cinderella, I said, "Remember when we talked about hair and you want yours really long?
