It's Illegal to Sell Expired Baby Food in California and Other Head Shaking Laws

Wasn't selling expired baby food always illegal? Apparently not. Until the dawning of 2012, it was apparently legal for retailers to sell expired baby food and baby formula in California.

I don't know that any of these shock me as much as I'm glad that some of them are being passed. Especially the one in Colorado about the head injury. I thought this article as a whole was interesting because my oldest a few years ago looked up odd laws on the books. And in WA State it is apparently illegal to sell meat on Sundays or carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket. But if you want to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket any other day of the week feel free. LOL

Good grief! You can't trust anyone not be be deceptive. I hope most stores have enough integrity and respect for their customers to not sell expired products.

It is crazy that there is a need to legislate common sense! The ones that caught me laughing (and gagging!!) were the # of states that passed "Legal to eat Roadkill" laws within the last few years (and it is my understanding that others are considering following suit!)

I hate pink -- absolutely

I hate pink -- absolutely HATE pink (it needed caps, trust me). Knowing my aversion to all things pink, my mother-in-law bought me fuzzy pink slippers for Christmas. The fuzzy part was bad enough, but pink...really? She thought it was funny. I did not. Happy ending though. :) My mom needed a new pair and she doesn't mind the color at all.

U.S. preterm births hit new low - still work to do!

The March of Dimes just released the 2012 Premature Birth Report Card. The U.S. has hit a new 10 year low for preterm births -- a significant improvement now registering at 11.7%! Still, overall, the U.S. scores a "C" as we continue to have a high rate of preterm births comparatively. This is a clear indication of work to be done! Learn more of the resources available here at Pregnancy.org to help you and your baby with a healthy start!

Making time to grieve.

Pregnancy and infant loss is never easy. The passing often takes with it shattered hearts and dreams of a future far different than the reality. Having to go through this process while still being called on to serve others -- whether that role is bearing work responsibilities, as "mom" for other children, coping with deteriorating health of parents or in-laws, or simply juggling your relationship with your partner -- 'overwhelming' doesn't even come close.
