Funilly enough, another topic for weekly discussion I was planning, was plastic and food. Really not a fan of having plastic around stuff that I eat, especially when heating it.
A study of baby-food containers shows that microwaving plastic releases millions upon millions of polymer bits.

In the last few years we have switched from plastic to glass containers for this and similar health reasons.

Maybe we should go back to eating those TV dinners with the aluminum tray instead of microwaving frozen meals in plastic containers.

Unfortunately, not everyone has an oven to heat things in, whereas microwaves can be easier and cheaper to come by. Not to mention the time convenience of using a microwave. But I agree it would be a healthier option.
