This sounds like a PR thing... They don't open until 11:00. Have the meeting in the morning. And why are they waiting 3 weeks. Sounds strange to me.
Because having a conversation about new food safety standards and company protocols isn't a two-hour thing. They're shutting down for the day because it's an all-day meeting to make sure every employee understands the changes.
And it's a company with employees who work totally different shifts, have different schedules, and likely have many conflicts. You can't tell Joe Smith who works part-time in the evenings and goes to school in the morning that he has to be there tomorrow. Joe has to make arrangements.
I honestly don't think this is a PR thing. They've had some issues and they are clearly working pretty hard to fix them. I have no problem with Chipotle and will continue to eat there. Shit happens and they've acted correctly and honestly.
I'm feeling great! My energy level is through the roof (and I'm still waking twice a night to feed my baby so whoa!), and I've had zero GI issues after eating which is one of re reasons I'm doing this.
The last couple times I did this, I noticed how high and even my energy level was. Same thing this time! DS is still up once or twice a night to eat, so I'm surprised I've been feeling as good as I have!
It's great that the GI issues are gone. Definitely follow the reintroduction protocol so you can narrow in on what the culprit is.
Any chance they have a CostCo membership? Their rotisserie chickens are sold for less than what it costs them to prepare. Super cheap! You can use the carcass to make stock for homemade soup.
Week 2 was a little harder for me in terms of wanting gluten (mostly baked goods), but overall not bad. I got a little more bored with the food I cooked this week, so that kind of sucked. I'm really feeling good about the way this has gone so far and I definitely think my energy levels are up. I'm also working out regularly, which is helping.
Yikes! Mine's been ok so far. Got up at 9. DH is going to try to put him down for a nap now because he's a total crank. I think I'll go to the grocery store.
DH said something about traveling in the future and I had this vision of just the two of us. I was holding DS at the time. It then dawned on me that he would be there too. I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I'm going to be responsible for this kid until he's at least 18. So weird.
DH was delivered at 30 weeks in 1987 and he has been healthy and thriving since then. He'll be just fine, but I'm keeping them in my thoughts and hoping she can make it a few more weeks!
Whole wheat flour is fine in baked goods, but you generally need to use a 50/50 blend of whole wheat and all-purpose. WW flour alone will get you dry, dense baked goods.
DS is 9 months and he still eats once overnight. I would not CIO at that age. I don't think it's unusual at all for him to need to eat in the MOTN. It sounds like he's sleeping really well for the most part. I think DS started sleeping mostly through the night around 7 months. He now sleeps 7:30-5:00am most nights and gets up for the day at 7:30 (I feed him at 5). I do feed him at other times if he's really escalating, but it's unusual for that to happen. He's never gotten used to eating at off times.
I know they list the ingredients. That's why I put hide in quotes. Whether they truly are hiding something, I don't know. The difference is that the majority of the population doesn't know that linalool is a known irritant and can cause blistering, rashes, dry skin, etc. So, I might go look at the ingredients and see that and not think anything of it. They aren't putting a warning on the package and they are promoting the product as something that will help to cure the issues that this irritant causes.
Making a comparison to something like Burt's Bees (which has beeswax in it) or peanut butter (which has peanuts in it) isn't a fair comparison. Those products have the allergy in the name and the substances are natural products that most people understand when they see them on an ingredient list. Irritants and allergies are not the same.
Yeah I definitely wasn't comparing it to Burts Bees or peanut butter at all! Totally different scenario. I was just trying to figure out the ingredients that eos specifically uses that are known to harmful that are different from other products/companies. There are tons of chapsticks and moisturizers in this country and other countries that use linnalol, and maybe the FDA should ban it, but from a legal perspective my questioning is wondering if the burden of proof is always on the company. Like I said previously, I know a few people that have severe reactions to different cosmetics, but not sure if they've been able to pinpoint it to 1 specific ingredient. I wasn't sure if there were other ingredients that the lawsuit has singled out that eos knowingly uses that are harmful as I couldn't find it in the documents I read.
Yeah, that I don't know. I'm inclined to say yes, but I also think the FDA needs to be much stricter in general. The US allows all kinds of ingredients in food and cosmetics that other countries banned a long time ago. I almost wonder if you couldn't follow something like this up the line and say that the FDA was negligent in not banning the ingredient given the wealth of evidence that it is a known irritant and that other countries have banned it completely. I'm totally talking out of my ass now though.
Uh huh. And lots of people are allergic to peanuts, nut products, shellfish, soy... Burt's Bees doesn't "hide" beeswax in their product. It's right there in the name. Eos is using a known irritant that the general public wouldn't typically be aware of or look for. There's a difference between ingredients that are irritants and those that people are allergic to.
Eos also lists all their ingredients. Now if they are hiding an ingredient that is a big problem that I definitely disagree with. I'm still trying to research which ingredients eos uses that aren't in other chapsticks and cosmetics but I can't seem to find an answer via Google.
