This Halloween

I realize I've been somewhat MIA this month, but I expect to be back to more frequent posting after the election! For now, I want to point out two things that are going on this Halloween.
1. Anyone who has read this blog knows that food allergies are a special interest of mine, so I'm excited to announce a new website designed to help allergic kids and their families: AllergyFreeHalloween.org. Join the effort and give out treats this Halloween that are allergy-friendly. Visit the site to download a door sign indicating your household's allergy-friendly status, learn about "safe" treats, and join a Facebook community.
2. Bisphenol A will be in the news again Friday when the Food and Drug Administration's Science Board convenes a public meeting on BPA. If anything interesting happens, you know this is the place to find out.
