    Hospice volunteers offer end-of-life care, support

    New legislators: Answer iseat more homemade soup

    It is amazing how fast things change and yet stay the same. For example one-third of our legislators are new to the State House and yet some of the same old issues are still there. I speak of the matter of safe foods and food containers. BPA is still there. A recent study showed that persons who consume five bowls of canned soup per week excrete one thousand times the amount of bisphenol than persons who consume homemade soup.
