It’s summertime, and the Dad Jokes come easy (here’s looking at you Father’s Day!), and we believe the healthy living should too! So, how about we get barefoot in the grass and watch the clouds drift by, while counting the ways we help make good4u™ summertime fun an easy choice. Let’s fire up the grill and say yes to organic produce, grass-fed beef, and delicious plant-based sizzlers that don’t contain artificial junk or GMOs. Let’s cool down with frozen desserts made without high fructose corn syrup or chemically modified fats. We’ll savor the ones crafted with real, recognizable ingredients, thank you very much. Let’s go to the water with plenty of UV protection, but leave behind chemical sunscreens that damage coral reefs and interfere with hormone function. Mineral sunscreens are the only kind for us! Let’s sit around the firepit, swapping stories as the dusk runs long, while banishing pesky bugs the DEET-free way. Let’s host a party with compostable cups and plates. Then we’ll tidy up after it with cleaners that don’t contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals like parabens, phthalates, or quaternary ammonium compounds. Let’s kick off summertime fun with a shared commitment to choosing better options for our health and the planet because, despite the things we can’t control, these choices still belong to us. Happy June, and happy Father’s Day, neighbors! May your month be filled with plenty of barefoot moments, cloud gazing, and puns that are on point. Here’s to health and here’s to you, our Community and Crew, who make gratitude come easy. In good health,
