I eat one every day. Delicious!!! I love this bar. Dates, almonds, unsweetened cherries......that is it. One reviewer said it was bitter, I would say "tart" --just as a cherry should taste. It is not super sweet b/c no added sweetner. I buy them by the box and they are a lovely snack.

Good stuff, and I am very picky about skincare. I used to use the salt rock deodorant b/c I like to keep it simple and my skin is sensitive to many products. It was ok, but only moderately effective.

A Definate MISS...Not a Hit....Not Worth It I bought from Organic Bouquet because of a positive mention here on SustainLane. I would have been satisfied with the EXTRA COST if the flowers were as great as described, but they were not. They were decent, nice roses, but not worth the $50+ price tag. The box said they were from Ecuador, so the...

A wonderful, perspective shifting book. I love this book and regularly recommend it to patients. I am an acupuncturist and find this book very helpful in clarifying what people should eat. It makes a very clear distinction between food (things our grandparents would recongnize as coming from a plant or animal) and those "manufactured food...
