Seven Stars dairy gets the top "5 cow" rating from the Cornucopia Institute--they rated organic dairies based on 12 different factors (see http://cornucopia.org/dairysurvey/index.html). And it tastes so good that I eat it plain. Delicious! Yogurt from healthy-living cows doesn't need any adornment. And there's no need to avoid the milk fat when the cows are healthy pasture-fed ones like at Seven Stars, so don't skimp, eat the whole yogurt, it's good for you!

I bought a Sigg bottle so I could avoid plastic, but now a year later I find that I rarely use it. I like that it's cute and nontoxic and doesn't get stinky, but it's got a few inconvenient drawbacks for cycling. The strange kind of sport top is a bit hard to use and lets only a small amount of liquid out at a time. The first time it fell on the pavement the protective cover over the mouthpiece broke in pieces, and subsequent falls saw it get dented and lose paint. Also, it rattles in my metal bottle cage unless I put a sock or bandana around it. I'm afraid I'm back to riding with a plastic water bottle :-(

I'm charmed by the fact that this shampoo bar is mixed in a bicycle-powered soap blender, but that's not the reason I keep using it. The pleasant rosemary scent is very mild and didn't bother my perfume allergies. I'd already tried Burt's Bees shampoo bar, and in comparison Just Soap's shampoo bar has a more luxurious lather and costs much less.
