I don't use much plastic, and don't have a microwave, partly because I am not convinced that microwaving food is really safe. (I do occasionally use a microwave elsewhere, but I don't own one.) serene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Snopes rarely says "false" and this is no exception. They routinely ask the companies in question and then quote back what they have to say. That isn't an answer, that is pr. In my nefarious past we owned a butcher shop (back in the 60s and 70s) and the plastics were actually killing folks who the equivalent of a seal-a-meal to cryovac your foods in butcher shops. That particular type of plastic was pulled from commercial use but NOT from private party use. There is plenty of documentation that micro-waving causes plastics to off-gas. The FDA is bought and paid for and no different than any politically controlled organization.
