If you are not tuned in to EWG, here is an example of what I consider some
of the best information available. I believe there is nothing quite so
important as *care of health. *

Best wishes.

Michael,

Chances are you’re going to spend some time in the kitchen this holiday
season.

With so much confusing information on food labels these days, we could all
use some help navigating our way through the grocery store. *That’s why we
created EWG’s Food Scores: Rate Your Plate.*

This year, *EWG’s Food Scores database
<http://action.ewg.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=x01%2B2k6XRfpcRfgTGdNJvEWMHXqFH9Ur>*
is here to help you make healthier, greener choices for you and your
family.

Plus, you can take the Food Scores iPhone app with you as you shop for
healthier foods and stock your holiday kitchen, so that you can truly enjoy
peace of mind in this season of joy. *Click here to download EWG’s Food
Scores app in the Apple Store and see how your favorite holiday treats
rate!

As EWG’s director of research, I’m constantly looking for ways to help
people avoid potentially harmful ingredients and contaminants in food. *As
you prepare for your holiday meals this year, here are some tips to keep in
mind:*

   - When you’re shopping for cranberry sauce, *avoid products in BPA-lined
   cans and those that are loaded with sugar and corn syrup. *Try making it
   yourself at home with fresh berries or *click here to pick one of the
   top-rated products on Food Scores! *
   <http://action.ewg.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=sN6IA4FBwnGFK7SK7bbcgEWMHXqFH9Ur>
   - *Concerned about pesticides in fruits and veggies? Use EWG’s Shopper’s
   Guide to Pesticides in Produce to avoid the Dirty Dozen
   <http://action.ewg.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=pKp41fBN0CBS%2FIMjH8lBhEWMHXqFH9Ur>*
   – the non-organic fruits and vegetables that are highest in pesticide
   residues – and choose items from the Clean Fifteen list instead.
   - Stuffing is always a holiday favorite, but *did you know that
   store-bought stuffing is about as likely to have added sugar as candy, ice
   cream and cookies?* More than half of the stuffings rated on Food Scores
   are likely to contain ingredients of high or moderate concern, so we
   recommend making your own or *using EWG’s Food Scores: Rate Your Plate
   to pick one of the top-scoring products.
   <http://action.ewg.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=RhEmyY6051Zo8a0YB0vOxEWMHXqFH9Ur>*
   - Turkeys are often fed antibiotics in their feed as well as growth
   promoters to encourage development of lean muscle instead of fat. (No
   wonder they look the way they do!) *Consider going organic and
   antibiotic-free this year! Click here to learn more about how to protect
   your family from superbugs in EWG’s Meat Eaters Guide.
   <http://action.ewg.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=bRFQqhq0Y30WfFPkbrJnZcwBnPWUcrnH>*
   - *Avoid the problematic preservatives BHA and BHT, which often turn up
   in potato mixes that have added bacon, butter or cheese.* If you make
   your mashed potatoes from scratch or from a box, add your own fixings at
   home instead. *Click here to see how your favorite mashed potatoes score
   on Food Scores!*

Getting into the holiday spirit is more fun when you know you’re serving up
food that’s better for your friends and family – and the environment.

I hope these tips will make it easier for you to enjoy a healthier, greener
holiday season.

Happy Holidays!
