I buy it just to assuage my "homesickness" for the San Joaquin Valley.<br /><br />I buy Vidalia onions in season, but really miss those big sweet reds from California.<br /><br />We have wonderful local milk, ice cream and meat. Can't beat Oklahoma for beef.<br /><br />Except for Sara Lee's whole wheat bread, I do my own baking.

It's cheap but it was made in Mississippi. In the days when I could afford to buy good furniture, I bought brands that came from North Carolina.<br /><br />Airing out the house: I wish!

I haven't had time to fully research the subject, but I do know that NAFTA not only brought us economic disaster, it opened us up to all kinds of problems with Chinese products. Their furniture is loaded with formaldehyde and nearly all furniture sold in this country now comes from China.<br /><br />As Mark said, it's a good idea to air out your house, especially your bedroom, every day to get rid of any toxic fumes.Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-67618647418150826252009-06-12T11:02:43.561-05:002009-06-12T11:02:43.561-05:00When did all this nonsense start, Jean?

Trailer homes made in the 50s were framed in real wood, but that stopped early on with artificial products. One benefit of these mobile homes/campers is they tended to leak air, thus the poisons from artificial woods weren't terrbily harmful, but as homes have become more efficient, these poisons tend to remain trapped inside. Since artificial products are now being used in every type of home, it is wise to circulate fresh air into the house whenever possible. Since I don't envision quality returning back to the way it once was, we must be the vigilant ones.Mark W.

I'm with a company that makes readily-available hardwood plywood panels with no added urea formaldehyde. We use a soy-based technology to glue the wood together, called "PureBond." We have recruited a network of quality-oriented fabricators who know how to make "green" furniture and cabinets - you can find a directory of them at our website at www.cfpwood.com. We're trying to take the "mystery" out of sourcing well-made and formaldehyde-free finished products!Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598605351418988223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-9101279436954131452009-06-12T04:53:34.296-05:002009-06-12T04:53:34.296-05:00Scary stuff, Jean - but the actual post is a tribu...Scary stuff, Jean - but the actual post is a tribute to your thoroughness as a blogger.
