Also, good vibes for your friend, Corwood.

I seem to remember some article about chemicals leeching (leaching? spellcheck says both are okay, although "spellcheck" is apparenlty wrong) into food or summat.

I haven't been worrying about plastic in the microwave, though I am leery of heating up styrofoam.
[Eta: I think leaching is more what you mean, Vortex, and leeching is applying leeches, but I'm just guessing]

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
random question - if I heat up my lunch in the plastic container that I brought it in, will I get cancer and die?I think it also has something to do with the plastic in question, and how hot it gets. But yes, I have heard reports about leaching of the plastics into the food. I generally go for Pyrex or stoneware stuff. I'm sure there is some study (funded by the plastics industry) that says that stuff will give me cancer too. And I can't help but remember the actress who would SCREAM and run out of the green room any time anyone used the microwave, because she was certain that if she was within 20' of it when it was on, it would cook her too.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And yes, it depends on the plastic, and how hot it gets, and whether you shift the contents frequently enough to prevent hotspots in the plastic. And other factors. A corelle bowl could be your friend.

Random aside: on of my favorite used record stores used to have jokey comments on the boards they used to separate artists from each other in the bins (this would be vinyl records). Aside from "Tom Waits (for no man)", my favorite was always "Slade (pronounced 'Shlar-day')".

That's pretty awesome.
So...does anyone know anything about non-profits? I'm apparently on a panel tomorrow in DC [link] , and while I know a lot about social media, I know jack about non-profits.

My understanding of the plastics in the microwave problem was not that it caused cancer, but that some plastics like bpA can interfere with hormonal regulation and build up in wee bodies (yes, my main concern w/r/t microwaving plastic was baby bottles). But now I am wondering where Snopes comes down on the bpA debate. I think I'll look it up.
