fishy ingredient...

Ick...

Fish ingredient might be introduced to a variety of foods. I could care less about the bacon, fish, forumula, and ham. I want my OJ and bread left alone.

Fortunately, I doubt I really have to worry. It's not like I can buy most store-bought bread, anyhow.

I really don't think enrichment is the solution to widespread malnutrition. I think education is a much better option. I'd say that those who can't be bothered to eat properly will just fall victim to natural selection, but I'm not sure that's fair to those who are too poor to buy enough food.

Dis

I have no clue what would be available in Australia. If you have local Indian shops, you could check there.

For bodyart henna,look at the link I posted about brands. hennapage.com has links to trusty vendors, though I don't know if they ship to Australia.

The henna I use for my hair would not be appropriate for mehndi. You want much fresher henna for that.

Yes, PPD is a bad thing. I'm lucky that my doctor tested me for it long before I thought about dying my hair with anything other than henna. I'm severely allergic to PPD, so I know not to go near any black hair dyes, other than indigo. I haven't tried indigo, since I love the red color of henna.

Did you turn in the guy who used the ppd-laced henna? Some jurisdictions/countries are starting to pass laws against it.

Nope! it was ages ago done by a busker and I never seen him again, i'd like to get my hands on him though! *grr* I was also allergic, I broke out into a sore itcy rash all over my body and I was on medication for months after it! :(

If you're going to try DIY mehndi, I've read that adding coffee or black tea to the henna mixture will make it a darker brown and less orangey. Definitely non-toxic and I have never heard of anyone having skin allergies to either of the two. I hope your skin's better now from your previous bad henna experience.
